Siemens introduces first industrial control cabinets made entirely from green steel
The SIVACON 8MF1 industrial control cabinet series is made with 100 percent scrap metal sourced from reputable suppliers in Europe and manufactured using wind power.
The production
process for the SIVACON 8MF1 control cabinets slashes CO₂ emissions
by 70 percent when compared to conventional steel, typically produced in a
blast furnace using iron ore and coal. The 70 percent reduction translates into
savings of 308 kilograms of CO₂ per enclosure unit. Currently, steel
production is responsible for eight percent of emissions globally. As demand
for steel continues to rise, it is essential to decarbonize its production.
The offering has the
same technical properties and functionality as cabinets produced with
conventional steel. It enables larger industrial customers to reduce their CO₂ emissions and get closer to achieving their sustainability goals.
