Tibnor’s emission data model holds information for product life cycle stages A1-A3. This is also known as a cradle-to-gate assessment, a model that assesses a product’s environmental footprint from raw materials extraction (cradle) until it leaves the factory (gate). 

For the respective product, the weighted average emission intensity (kg CO2e per kg steel) is calculated based on supplier specific emissions and the relative share of volume per supplier. 

The calculations consist of three levels: 

1. If an EPD exists, the total GWP (Global Warming Potential) value from the EPD is used 
2. If (1) is not applicable, crude steel emissions data on supplier-site level is used from the database “CRU Emissions Analysis Tool” and complemented with proxy emissions for rolling and further processing 
3. If none of (1) and (2) are applicable, global average crude steel emissions  are used and complemented with proxy emissions for rolling and further processing 

At the moment we are selling plate, beams, round bars and reinforcement steel. Discover the assortment by clicking on each product group. 

It depends a little on the type of product and shape. By buying, for example, a beam from the Low CO2 assortment, 800 kg of CO2 per ton emissions are reduced.
