BIOEDGE
Solutions that drive change
BIOEDGE™ is redefining what’s possible in sustainable steel. Our boldest step yet in sustainable steelmaking, BIOEDGE is formulated utilizing renewable or nuclear energy certificates and renewable biocarbon, delivering meaningful reductions in Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. By leveraging our use of electric arc furnace (EAF) technology, our circular manufacturing model, cutting-edge innovation, and biocarbon production using sustainably sourced raw materials, we’re empowering companies to decarbonize their supply chains while maintaining uncompromised quality and performance. Bringing advanced and verifiable GHG emissions reduction solutions to industries worldwide, BIOEDGE is the next frontier in lower-embodied-carbon steel products.
Electric Arc Furnace
BIOEDGE and EDGE are lower-embodied-carbon steel products produced exclusively with EAF technology, generating significantly fewer greenhouse gas emissions and requiring approximately a quarter of the energy compared to global basic oxygen furnace steelmaking technology.
Electric Arc Furnace
Renewable or Nuclear Electricity
BIOEDGE and EDGE are matched with emission-free nuclear energy certificates or Green-e Energy certified renewable energy certificates, significantly reducing Scope 2 emissions. In 2023, we signed the largest renewable product purchase agreement in the steel industry in North America. This wind energy center began commercial operations in the first quarter of 2024, allowing us to achieve 14% renewable electricity within our steel mill operations.
Renewable Biocarbon
Renewable biocarbon further reduces embodied carbon in the EAF steelmaking process, when used as a replacement for anthracite, significantly reducing Scope 1 emissions. The renewable biocarbon used to produce BIOEDGE is sourced exclusively from SDI Biocarbon Solutions. SDI Biocarbon Solutions we believe is the largest renewable biocarbon production facility globally, with expected annual capacity of 228,000 metric tons.
