ABB Works on Reducing Carbon Footprint of Motors & Electromagnetic Stirrers
Low-carbon and recycled copper from Swedish mining firm Boliden will be used to manufacture ABB motors and electromatic stirrers in Europe
ABB is working with Boliden, the Swedish mining and smelting
company, to build a strategic cooperation to use low carbon
footprint copper in its electromagnetic stirring equipment and
high-efficiency electric motors. The aim is to reduce greenhouse
gas emissions while driving the transition to a more
circular economy.
The partnership is part of ABB's strategic moves to reduce
the environmental impact of raw materials used in its products
by replacing them with lower-carbon alternatives. It has also
committed to increase the use of recycled electric steel and
recycled aluminum. Another move in closing the circularity
loop has already seen ABB designing its motors to be up to 98
percent recyclable, with the remaining two percent of materials
available to be incinerated for heat recovery.
" As a part of ABB's 2030 sustainability strategy, our target is
for 80 percent of our products and solutions to be covered by a
circularity approach. The work with Boliden is an important step
towards this goal, " said Ola Noren, head of metallurgy products,
process industries for ABB. " By taking stock of the delivery by
the end of this year we'll ensure that all our metallurgy products
use recycled hollow copper conductors from 2023. "
" We want to enable a more sustainable and resource-efficient
future, and with this collaboration our customers can not only
decarbonize by upgrading to energy efficient motors but will
also be able to install ABB technology that has an improved
environmental footprint thanks to Boliden's copper, " said Ulf
Hellstrom, managing director at ABB Motion in Sweden. " This is
an excellent example of the circular economy in practice. "
