10/10/2024 - Steel Dynamics Inc. will look to reduce the CO2 intensity of its hot-rolled steel by 15% over the next six years under new science-based goals it has set as part of its participation in the Global Steel Climate Council.
According to Steel Dynamics, the goal is to lower emissions intensity from 0.94 metric tons of CO2e per metric ton of hot-rolled steel produced to 0.80 metric tons of CO2e per metric ton by 2030. However, the ultimate goal is to reduce emissions intensity to 0.12 metric tons of CO₂e per metric ton of hot-rolled steel produced by 2050.
In setting the targets, the company’s 2022 starting point was independently verified. Steel Dynamics is the first company to have its base year starting point and targets certified by the Global Steel Climate Council (GSCC). Steel Dynamics is a founding GSCC company.
“As GSCC steel producers begin to publish their interim and long-term emissions reduction targets, their ambition and commitment toward achieving the IEA’s 2050 net zero goal will accelerate. Our certification recognizes Steel Dynamics for its leadership on decarbonization and taking a forward-leaning approach to continue cutting emissions across the company,” said GSCC executive director Adina Renee Adler.
The targets include greenhouse gas emissions produced through hot rolling, including Scope 1, Scope 2 and upstream Scope 3 emissions.
“Steel is an integral component of the global economy and foundational to the world’s essential infrastructure. Specifically, lower-carbon steel is necessary for the transition to a lower-carbon global economy,” said Steel Dynamics chairman and chief executive officer Mark Millett. “With these new targets and a proven track record of progress, we are demonstrating our commitment to continue making the steel required for a sustainable future.”
Classification of stainless steel pipes1. Classification by production method:
(1) Seamless tubes - cold drawn tubes, extruded tubes, cold rolled tubes.
(2) Welded pipe:
(a) Classification by process - gas shielded welded pipe, arc welded pipe, resistance welded pipe (high frequency, low frequency).
(b) According to welding seam - straight seam welded pipe, spiral welded pipe.
2. Classification according to cross-sectional shape: (1) circular steel pipe; (2) rectangular pipe.
Spiral steel pipe stacking requirements1. The principle requirement for stacking spiral steel pipes is to stack them according to types and specifications on the premise of ensuring stable stacking and ensuring safety. Different types of materials should be stacked separately to prevent confusion and mutual erosion;

Advantages of Using Carbon Steel in ConstructionSteel is an alloy metal, which means it’s a combination of several types of elements. In the case of steel, this is a combination of iron, carbon, and trace elements. It has a number of advantages for construction applications due to the fact that it’s fairly inexpensive to manufacture and has a very high tensile strength.
What determines the type of steel is the ratio of elements used to produce it, and it’s the magic formula of the carbon steel alloy created that makes it preferred for many projects. While there are thousands of different types of steel, these types are generally bucketed into four categories: carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, and tool steel.- Anti-corrosion steel pipe classificationPN8710 anti-corrosion
When there are many types of corrosive media in steel pipes, such as acids, alkalis, salts, oxidants and water vapor, the coating must be chemically inert and resistant to acid, alkali and salt corrosion. The coating film should have a dense structure, good waterproof permeability and strong adhesion. , tough and plump. In this case, IPN8710 anti-corrosion is suitable. 
Global crude steel production fell 4.3% year-on-year in MarchOn April 23, the World Steel Association (WSA) released global crude steel production data for March. In March, crude steel output in the world's 71 countries and regions included in the statistics was 161.2 million tons, a year-on-year decrease of 4.3%. In the first quarter of this year, crude steel output in the world's 71 countries and regions included in the statistics was 469 million tons, a year-on-year increase of 0.5%.
