Under ecoMelting, we combine all measures that lead to a CO2-neutral foundry that is independent of fossil fuels. Our declared goal is CO2 neutrality by 2045, and this decarbonization is to be achieved step by step. Step one will be implemented by 2027 and will save approximately 40 percent natural gas, 25 percent waste and around 48 million liters of water. Surplus energy will be used for the company's own heat supply and will also be made available to municipal suppliers. Further steps in the roadmap include investments in hydrogen storage for process heat generation and power-to-X platforms for the climate-neutral generation of chemicals.
