The fossil carbon emissions in SSAB’s production of SSAB Zero™ are less than 0.05 kg CO₂e/kg steel in Scope 1 and 2 of the GHG Protocol. Typical corresponding values for iron ore-based steel produced in blast furnaces are approximately 1.5 kg CO₂e/kg steel.

The carbon footprint of SSAB Zero™ including the raw material (Scope 1, 2 and 3 upstream) is between 0.47 and 0.70 kg CO₂e/kg steel, compared to the typical values of 2.4 kg CO₂e/kg steel for iron ore-based steel produced in blast furnaces.

The fossil carbon emissions in SSAB’s production of SSAB Fossil-free™ steel are targeted to be less than 0.05 kg CO₂e/kg steel in Scope 1, 2 and for iron ore upstream Scope 3, of the GHG Protocol. Typical corresponding values for iron ore-based steel produced in blast furnaces are approximately 1.5 kg CO₂e/kg steel.

Taking end-of-life into account, the carbon footprint of SSAB Fossil-free™ steel will be lower than that of SSAB Zero™. Both steels have significantly lower carbon footprints than standard steel.
