Go the greentec steel Map: Keeping up to date with the interactive map
"Communication leads to understanding." What sounds so simple and self-evident in this quote by Rollo Reece May is often not that easy to implement in real life. Besonders bei komplexen Themen mit großer Tragweite wie TransMet ist die Kommunikation genauso entscheidend wie anspruchsvoll. Because many people are moved by such a promising project. Making it tangible and approachable is essential to its authenticity and acceptance.
greentec steel Map: Making significant progress
In 2027, voestalpine has a clear plan to put the first electric arc furnace into operation in Linz. At first glance it is not clear how many gears mesh in the background and how much effort is put into the integration of the two green-electricity-powered electric arc furnaces into the steelmaking infrastructure in Linz and Donawitz. Um greentec steel am STandort Linz und seine Fortschritte greifbarer und die Zusammenhänge sichtbar zu machen, hat die voestalpine Steel Division mit der greentec steel Map nun eine virtuelle Informationsplattform für alle Interessierten geschaffen.
One click away
The interactive map in Linz provides orientation and comprehensive information about numerous aspects at a variety of different levels. Sie macht transparent im Detail und Zeitverlauf ersichtlich, wo der Baufortschritt gerade steht, was sich seit 2022 alles getan hat und welche Projekte bis 2027 noch umgesetzt werden. Specific data on individual projects can also be accessed with only a few clicks of the mouse. The Fun Facts section combines facts with aha moments that will impress you and make you smile at the same time. The little bits of knowledge shared on the map are unforgettable, and the different levels provide the user with freedom of depth.
greentec steel creates clarity
Beautiful words have no value if they are not backed up by action. This also applies to sustainability initiatives such as greentec steel. The transformation of steel production at the voestalpine location in Linz is moving along in great strides. Die greentec steel Map zeigt klar, deutlich, simpel und transparent, dass sich die Steel Division mit viel Sicherheit und Klarheit mitten in der Umsetzung dieses bedeutenden Großvorhabens befindet.

The greentec steel project of voestalpine is an ambitious step-by-step plan that makes a valuable contribution to the achievement of the climate goals. As a first step, the voestalpine Group plans to replace two blast furnaces with two electric arc furnaces (EAFs) by the year 2027. The investment volume amounts to roughly 1.5 billion euros.
Carbon emissions can be reduced by up to 30% as early as 2029 by making this switch from the blast furnace to the EAF. This corresponds to a savings of nearly 4 million tons of CO2 per year, amounting to nearly 5% of the carbon emissions in Austria. This makes greentec steel the largest climate protection program in Austria.
The two electric-arc furnaces will enable voestalpine to produce roughly 2.5 million tons of carbon-reduced steel by the year 2027, roughly 1.6 million tons in Linz and 850,000 tons in Donawitz. Learn more about greentec steel here.
