Frequently Asked Questions About Carbon Solutions
What is a carbon digital passport for steel products?
A carbon digital passport is a comprehensive, verifiable record of a steel product's carbon footprint throughout its entire lifecycle. It includes emissions data from raw material extraction, manufacturing processes, transportation, and end-of-life considerations. The EU will require digital product passports for steel products starting in 2026 as part of their sustainable product regulation.
​
How can steel manufacturers generate carbon credits?
Steel manufacturers can generate carbon credits through verified emissions reduction projects including energy efficiency improvements, renewable energy installations, process optimization, waste heat recovery, and circular economy initiatives. Each metric ton of CO2 reduced can potentially generate one carbon credit for trading in voluntary or compliance markets.
​
What are Scope 3 emissions in steel manufacturing?
Scope 3 emissions are indirect emissions that occur in a steel manufacturer's value chain, including purchased raw materials (iron ore, coal, limestone), transportation and logistics, employee commuting, business travel, and the use and disposal of steel products. Scope 3 typically represents 70-80% of a steel company's total carbon footprint.
​
How long does carbon accounting implementation take?
A comprehensive carbon accounting system for steel manufacturing typically takes 8-12 weeks to implement, including baseline assessment, system setup, team training, and initial reporting. However, basic carbon footprint calculation can be completed within 2-3 weeks for immediate compliance needs.
​
What is the ROI of carbon digital passport implementation?
Steel manufacturers implementing carbon digital passports typically see ROI within 12-18 months through premium pricing for verified low-carbon products (5-15% price premium), improved operational efficiency (10-20% energy cost reduction), and access to sustainability-linked financing with favorable terms.
​
How do carbon regulations affect steel imports and exports?
The EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) requires importers to purchase carbon certificates corresponding to the carbon price that would have been paid if goods were produced under EU carbon pricing rules. This makes carbon accounting and documentation essential for international steel trade.
