Steel Dynamics, Inc. today announced lower-embodied-carbon steel product offerings, BIOEDGE™ and EDGE™, to support customers in achieving their greenhouse gas emissions reduction and sustainability initiatives.
BIOEDGE and EDGE are lower-embodied-carbon steel products produced exclusively with electric arc furnace (EAF) technology. Additionally, the steel is matched with Green-e Energy certified renewable energy certificates or emission-free nuclear energy certificates, significantly reducing Scope 2 emissions. BIOEDGE further reduces embodied carbon in the EAF steelmaking process, utilizing renewable biocarbon as a replacement for anthracite, significantly reducing Scope 1 emissions. BIOEDGE offers an innovative supply-chain solution for companies seeking to meaningfully decarbonize their supply chains without compromising performance or quality.
“With our EAF steelmaking, circular manufacturing model, and innovative teams, Steel Dynamics is already a global leader in the production of lower-embodied-carbon steel products,” said Mark D. Millett, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We are excited to expand our lower-embodied-carbon steel product offerings, and we are committed to providing high-quality, innovative supply-chain solutions to support our customers’ decarbonization initiatives.”
The EDGE family of steel products will be available across the company’s steel operations. The company anticipates immediate interest from automotive and construction customers, and from across the renewable energy and infrastructure sectors. The renewable biocarbon used to produce BIOEDGE will be sourced exclusively from SDI Biocarbon Solutions, which is 75 percent-owned by Steel Dynamics and 25 percent-owned by Aymium, a leading producer of biocarbon globally.
