According to Mysteel, Turkish steel producer Colakoglu Metalurji recently released its decarbonization roadmap, planning to achieve a 13% reduction in carbon emissions by 2026 compared to the 2021 baseline, and a 55% reduction by 2030, with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. B18R055 oriented electrical steel, The company's current liquid steel production emission intensity has already been reduced to 0.34 tons of CO2 equivalent per ton, which is lower than the global average for electric arc furnaces.
Colakoglu is accelerating its low-carbon transition by improving production efficiency and implementing digitalization to reduce emissions. B18R055 oriented electrical steel, The company plans to commission the ABB ArcSave electromagnetic stirring system by the end of 2025 for its 370-ton electric arc furnace, aiming to improve the efficiency and quality of its sheet and long steel products. Colakoglu also stated that it will strengthen the transparency of carbon data in its supply chain and promote carbon emission management in line with CBAM requirements.
Currently, Colakoglu utilizes scrap steel at a rate of 79.6% in its flat steel products and 95.3% in its long steel products, with approximately 59% of its overall production coming from the scrap steel route, aiming to improve resource efficiency and reduce carbon emissions. B18R055 oriented electrical steel, Following the completion of its expansion investment in 2024, the company's hot-rolled steel capacity will increase by 50% to 4.5 million tons per year.
Against the backdrop of the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the Turkish steel industry is accelerating the development of low-carbon transition measures. The industry's low-carbon roadmap, developed by the Turkish Ministry of Trade, indicates that through measures such as the establishment of a national carbon emissions trading system, the industry is expected to achieve a 99.7% reduction in emissions by 2053.
