Green Steel



Tosyalı V-Green

This is not just a brand, it is also the strongest indicator of sustainability actions those have been taking place for many years at Tosyalı and will continue by highest determination. In all our production facilities, we focus on new generation green steel production and under the umbrella of V-Green, we introduce and supplier and environmental friendly products.

How we are making this vision live in Tosyalı ?

We produce green steel with the help of;

- Technology usage,

- Innovation,

- Renewable energy resources,

- Recycling in every touch point production,

- Operating with highest efficiency.

“V” are ready to be “Green”!

We aim to be the world's leading sustainable green steel producer with the lowest carbon footprint.

Solar power is a cheap and clean energy source alternative for the iron and steel sector in managing the externalities of the Border Carbon Mechanism.



TOSYALI ALGÉRIE

With our fully integrated facility design in Tosyalı Algérie, which sets an example for the world steel industry, we produce with carbon emissions below the world DRI emission average, thanks to the advanced technologies, highest capacity usage and hot charging structure of our DRI facility design.


Energy Efficiency

We are aware that investments are one of the most important steps that can be taken to minimize fossil fuel use, enable decarbonization and increase energy efficiency.

The iron and steel sector is one of the largest energy consumers among all industrial sectors. It is an energy-intensive industry and the main energy carriers are coal, liquid and gaseous fuels and electricity.

The benefits of energy efficiency in an energy intensive industry are therefore widely recognized. This is because, beyond cost savings, the increased efficiency and competitiveness associated with improved energy management encourages investments in energy efficiency in many cases.

We managed to prevent 154 thousand tons of greenhouse gas emissions in 2021 with the long-term efficiency investments we made at various points of the production lines.

HOW DOES TOSYALI ALGÉRIE ACHIEVE GREEN STEEL PRODUCTION?

1- Use of Advanced Technology:

The largest twin DRI in Europe, Mediterranean Basin and Africa

  • We make Hot Charging in our DRI facility in Algeria, a superiority of full integration and our facility design.
  • Thanks to the DRI-fed arc furnace technology used in Tosyalı Algérie, the production emits less carbon compared to conventional blast furnaces. (CBAM results used as reference).
  • In line with our Green Steel and sustainability goals, the world's first flexi DRI plant that can run on both natural gas and 100% hydrogen was commissioned. After the commissioning of the plant, Tosyalı has the largest twin DRI production capacity in Europe and Mediterranean basin which also covers North Africa.


2- Green Energy Investment:

Hydrogen Investments

  • Thanks to the hydrogen investments, the fossil fuel consumptions will be decreased and firm steps will be taken towards the zero carbon target.


3- Circular Economy, Waste Management Initiatives & Water Management:

Tosyalı Harsco Environmental has started to operate in Algeria in 2022.

  • Tosyalı Harsco is a joint venture between Tosyalı and Harsco Corporation (NYSE: HSC), specialized in metal recovery services and slag sales.
  • Tosyalı Harsco has two recycling plants in Turkey, and one in Algeria.
  • The company processes slag wastes generated during the steel production, does metal recovery and turns them into by-products for use in different sectors (such as asphalt, road construction, cement additives, railway ballast.


Water Management

In our Tosyalı Algérie facilities, seawater is used as a process water. Using seawater for various applications promotes sustainability by reducing freshwater consumption, enhancing resilience to droughts, and supporting marine ecosystems.
