The 4 stages of our
production process and emissions generation:

1 - Scrap deposit

PHASE

Procurement of raw materials (scrap and other subsidiary materials) for steel production by road, rail and ship transportation. Scrap is unloaded and handled within the deposit area. By hydraulic grabs they are loaded into the basket. The basket is moved by crane from the scrap deposit to the steel mill.

EMISSIONS GENERATION

Indirect emissions from scrap supply and other subsidiary materials (transportation)
Scope 3 upstream.

2 - MELTING AND SOLIDIFICATION

PHASE

Loading and melting of scrap in electric furnace (EAF) and addition of Lime, Coal and Ferroalloys to obtain the desired composition. Cooling the liquid steel to form the semi-product called billet or slab according to shape.

EMISSIONS GENERATION

Direct emissions from the use of natural gas, coal, other subsidiary materials (ferroalloys, electrodes, lime) during the melting process
Scope 1

Indirect emissions from electricity input during the melting phase
Scope 2

3 - ROLLING

PHASE

Heating the billet to be passed through rolling rolls that give the shape of the final product (profiles, angles, rounds). The final products, once cooled and cut to size, are weighted and packaged with a manufacturing specifications card.

EMISSIONS GENERATION

Direct emissions from the use of natural gas during billet heating
Scope 1

Indirect emissions from electricity input during the rolling phase
Scope 2

4 - STORAGE and SHIPPING

PHASE

Final products are stored in the warehouse, ready to be shipped to customers by road and/or rail.

EMISSIONS GENERATION

Direct emissions from internal transport (e.g., handling for storage)
Scope 1

Indirect emissions from transportation through third-party means
Scope 3 downstream
