NLMK Group takes part in first EU-Russia Climate Conference
Sergey Chebotarev, NLMK Group Vice President, took part in the EU-Russia Climate Conference organized by the EU Delegation to Russia and the SKOLKOVO Business School. Business representatives, officials and experts from Russia and the EU discussed possible solutions to climate change.
Participating in the "Decarbonization of energy-intensive industries" session, Sergey Chebotarev talked about NLMK Group’s efforts to reduce its carbon footprint. NLMK is boosting its energy efficiency and continuing to cut greenhouse gas emissions: by 2023, the intensity of CO2 emissions at the Group's flagship site in Lipetsk is set to decrease by 3.5% compared to 2019.
Mr. Chebotarev said: “Thanks to the systematic implementation of projects aimed at reducing the consumption of raw materials, fuel and energy resources, NLMK has already achieved a significant reduction in CO2 emissions, and today our company is among the global industry leaders in terms of emissions per tonne of steel. And we won’t stop there: we are currently building a long-term portfolio of projects to further reduce our carbon footprint.”
NLMK follows a diversified approach to the climate agenda, using traditional and innovative tools to cut greenhouse gas emissions. In the coming years, the company plans to launch a new power plant, which will be fueled by recovered steelmaking gases. The project will cut greenhouse gas emissions by 650,000 tonnes annually. NLMK is also implementing a portfolio of research projects that focus on the use of hydrogen in the production process, and CO2 recovery and utilization.
