Concept Zero − Une révolution invisible
This is Concept Zero
A bigger vision for the fossil-free heat exchanger
Steel is a major component of an Alfa Laval heat exchanger. With steel production accounting for approximately 7% of global carbon emissions, the choice of materials can significantly influence a heat exchanger’s carbon footprint.
In 2022, Alfa Laval and Swedish steel producer SSAB made the first heat exchanger with fossil-free steel. The partnership subsequently presented a prototype incorporating SSAB Fossil-free™ steel in the frame and pressure plate of Alfa Laval’s gasketed plate heat exchangers. This progress inspired a bigger vision: What if we could make a heat exchanger without fossil carbon emission?
That was the beginning of Concept Zero™ – Alfa Laval’s journey towards the world’s first heat exchanger without fossil carbon emissions by 2030.
Alfa Laval and SSAB joined forces producing the first fossil-free heat exchanger
Partnerships are crucial to go that extra mile to find new innovative solutions for accelerating sustainable solutions. Alfa Laval has signed an agreement with SSAB, the global Swedish steel company, to develop and commercialize the world’s first heat exchanger made from fossil-free steel. The goal is to have the first unit made from hydrogen-reduced steel ready for use in 2023.

Re-Made to matter
Alfa Laval and Stena Recycling have teamed up create the smart, sustainable and easy-to-use Re-Made to matter exchange programme. This gives us the possibility to recover as much as 100% of the valuable metals found in old heat exchangers. By replacing them with more modern designs, we can also enable efficiency improvements for energy savings as well as a reduced carbon footprint.
