As the global demand for steel continues to rise, so does the carbon footprint of the steel industry. Steel production has long been known as a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, making it imperative for industries worldwide to consider environmentally responsible options when sourcing ferro alloys, a key component in steelmaking.
The carbon impact of steel production is a global concern, and its environmental consequences are felt across all continents. Let's delve into the data and calculations, and explore how your choice of ferro alloy supplier can make a significant difference in reducing your carbon imports.
Global Carbon Impact of Steel Production
According to recent statistics and data, every ton of steel produced in 2018 emitted an average of 1.85 tons of carbon dioxide, accounting for approximately 8% of global CO2 emissions. The carbon footprint of steel production is estimated to be around 1.4 to 1.85 tons of CO2 per ton of steel. With the exponential increase in steel production volume, there is a corresponding rise in associated GHG emissions.
Global Emissions
The steel industry is responsible for a significant portion of global carbon emissions, contributing to roughly 7-9% of total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.
Continent-wise
Steel production is a widespread industry with a presence on every continent. The carbon emissions associated with steel production are continent-dependent, with Asia being the largest contributor, accounting for nearly 60% of global emissions.
Emissions Data
To provide a more tangible perspective, consider that a single ton of steel produced through traditional methods can result in over two tons of carbon dioxide emissions. And the world produces around 1.9 billion metric tons of steel in an year.

For instance, Sweden has launched initiatives to reduce carbon emissions from its steel production, with a vision to become one of the world's first fossil-free steel producers. Germany, too, is pioneering eco-friendly steelmaking practices, with a focus on recycling and reducing energy consumption. By aligning with such nations and their green steel norms, you can not only stay future-ready but also contribute to a more sustainable global steel industry.
Calculating Your Carbon Reduction
Let's consider a practical example to highlight the tangible benefits of choosing Hira Ferro Alloys Ltd as your ferro alloy supplier. Suppose a steel manufacturer imports 1,000 tons of ferro alloys annually. If they opt for Hira Ferro Alloys Ltd's environment-friendly alloys, they can significantly reduce their carbon imports. For every ton of conventional ferro alloys replaced with Hira Ferro Alloys Ltd's green energy-driven alloys, approximately 2 tons of carbon emissions are avoided. In this scenario, by importing 1,000 tons of environment-friendly ferro alloys, the steel manufacturer could reduce their carbon imports by an impressive 2,000 tons annually. This not only minimizes the environmental impact but also showcases the practical benefits of responsible sourcing in your carbon reduction strategy.
In a world where sustainable practices are increasingly vital, making a conscious choice in your ferro alloy procurement can go a long way in reducing your carbon imports and contributing to a greener, more environmentally responsible steel industry. Hira Ferro Alloys Ltd is ready to be your partner on this journey towards sustainability, offering not just high-quality ferro alloys but a promise of a greener future for the steel industry and our planet.
