29 May Vattenfall builds first solar park using low-emission steel
London, (Oilandgaspress) When building the large-scale solar park Juliusburg/Krukow in Germany, Vattenfall is reducing CO₂ emissions in the construction and supply chain by 67 percent by using low-emission steel from Swedish SSAB.
Generating solar power already makes a significant contribution to climate protection in Germany today. What has so far received little attention is the fact that the construction of solar parks also results in CO2 emissions. Vattenfall therefore aims to build solar and wind farms using materials produced with the lowest possible emissions.
At the Juliusburg/Krukow solar park project, Vattenfall is now using low emission steel for the substructures of the solar modules for the first time on the Krukow section of the site. The steel was produced from almost 100 percent scrap by the Swedish steel producer SSAB, resulting in a significantly reduced carbon footprint. Compared with conventional steel, SSAB Zero emits 67 percent less CO2.
