NEW FRAUNHOFER IMWS STUDY "SCRAP BONUS" SHOWS: "THE USE OF STEEL SCRAP SAVES BILLIONS IN CLIMATE AND ENVIRONMENTAL COSTS." The use of scrap as a raw material in steel production significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions, avoids local environmental pollution and conserves finite resources. The use of scrap thus makes a decisive contribution to protecting the climate. The study aims to promote appropriate knowledge and understanding. The extremely positive effects are largely unknown in politics and the public. Scrap is an indispensable raw material in steel production. In 2018, 93.8 million tons of high-quality scrap (Germany: 19 million tons) were melted down in the European Union to produce new steel. This corresponds to around half (EU: 56%; D: 44%) of the raw material used. This scientific study shows the positive contribution of the use of scrap in steel production in current megatrends such as climate protection policy and circular value creation concepts. THE USE OF SCRAP IN STEEL PRODUCTION REPLACES PRIMARY RAW MATERIALS, ESPECIALLY IRON ORE AND COKE, BUT ALSO ALLOYING ELEMENTS SUCH AS CHROMIUM AND NICKEL IN STAINLESS STEEL. Durch eine Tonne Stahlschrott werden Emissionen von 1,67 t CO2 (bei Edelstahlschrott: 4,3 t CO2) eingespart. So viel CO2 wird beim Verbrennen von rund 700 Litern (bzw. 1.800 Litern) Benzin freigesetzt. Damit kommt ein durchschnittlicher PKW etwa 9.000 km (bzw. 23.000 km) weit. 2018 haben die Stahlwerke in der Europäischen Union etwa 93,8 Mio. t Schrott eingeschmolzen. Unterstellt man konservativ, dass es sich dabei ausschließlich um Kohlenstoffstahlschrott gehandelt hat, ergibt sich daraus die Einsparung von 157 Mio. t CO2. „Die CO2-Einsparung in der EU durch den Einsatz von Stahlschrott entspricht dem kompletten Automobilverkehr in Frankreich, Großbritannien und Belgien zusammen.“ Quelle: BDSV - Bundesvereinigung Deutscher Stahlrecycling- und Entsorgungsunternehmen e.V.
