VALLOUREC REDUCES ITS CARBON FOOTPRINT BY
19% IN 4 YEARS
Meudon (France), January
22nd, 2025 – Vallourec,
a world leader in premium seamless tubular solutions, announces the
result of its seamless tubes carbon footprint life cycle
assessment. Based on 2023 data, Vallourec has reduced its carbon
footprint to 1.45 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per tonne of tube
produced, compared to 1.79 tonnes of CO2 equivalent per tonne of
tube in 2019, representing a 19% reduction over 4 years.
This significant reduction, certified by the
independent non-profit research institute EPD International AB, a
subsidiary of IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, sets a
new industry standard for the premium seamless tubular solutions
sector1.
All Vallourec entities are committed to this
approach. In the United States, Vallourec’s steel mill is a major
asset in the circular economy: it operates with 98% recycled scrap
and 100% low-carbon electricity. In Brazil, the Group's forests are
used to produce biomass charcoal as a substitute for coke in the
Jeceaba blast furnace, and 98% of electricity comes from renewable
sources. Overall, more than 90% of electricity used by Vallourec is
low-carbon, originating from nuclear power or renewable sources
(45% hydroelectric, 6% wind, and 4% solar), and 61% of steel used
by Vallourec worldwide comes from recycled scrap. All Vallourec
production sites are ISO 14001 (Environment) certified.As part of
its environmental commitments, Vallourec continues its reduction
trajectory with the ambitious goal of reducing the carbon intensity
of its tubes by 35% by 2035 compared to 2021 levels.
Philippe Guillemot, Chairman of the
Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of Vallourec
commented: "The reduction in our carbon footprint is the
result of the New Vallourec plan launched in 2022. This achievement
strengthens our position as a reference player and confirms our
ability to support our customers in their own decarbonization
objectives. These advances are the result of the remarkable long
term commitment of our teams worldwide, which I would like to
acknowledge."
