At Carbomax, we believe this challenge also opens the door to smarter and cleaner recovery of residuals. By using oxidic residual materials and combining them with carbon, we can produce high-quality briquettes, perfectly suitable to substitute other raw materials with a low environmental impact if the carbon source is biochar – a solution that fits perfectly into a more circular steelmaking process.
This becomes even more important with the introduction of CBAM (Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism), the EU’s new regulation that places a carbon price on imported, emissions-intensive goods. It’s a development that will affect all our customers – some more than others – but one thing is clear: the market is changing.
How are you affected so far?
