Severstal’s largest greenhouse gas emissions in 2021 are associated with stationary fuel combustion for power and technological purposes — 13.38 mmt CO₂-eq. (46.4%) and industrial processes 11.96 million tonnes of CO₂-eq. (41.5%), fugitive emissions from coal mining and use of natural gas up to 2.94 million tonnes of CO₂-eq. (10.2%) and emissions from mobile fuel combustion 0.52 million tonnes of CO₂-eq. (1.8%).

The main GHG emitters at Severstal in 2021 are the Cherepovets Steel Mill (25.24 million tonnes of CO₂-eq., or 82.4%), Vorkutaugol (3.56 million tons of CO₂-eq., or 11 .6%), Karelsky Okatysh (1.09 million tons of CO₂-eq., or 3.6%), the rest of the business units account for 0.74 million tonnes of CO₂-eq., or 2.4%.

GHG emission intensity

Carbon intensity of the Company

Global average

In 2021, the emission intensity increased by 0.8% compared to 2020 and reached 2.078 tonnes of СO₂ per tonne of steel. The increase in carbon intensity is mainly due to the increase in the production of cast iron after the commissioning of coke battery No. 11 and blast furnace No. 3

Indirect GHG Emissions (Scope 3)

million tonnes of CO2e

In 2021, Scope 3 emissions in the supply chain comprised of as follows:
— Scope 3 Upstream: 7.05 million tonnes of CO₂e, with the majority of emissions (89%) related to purchases of goods and services and fuel and energy related activities (not included in Scope 1, 2);
— Scope 3 Downstream: 7.04 million tonnes of CO₂e; the main share (96%) includes the categories “Processing of sold products” and “Use of sold products”.
