Alfa Laval, Outokumpu and SSAB have entered into a strategic cross-industry collaboration to integrate low-emission steel into Alfa Laval’s plate heat exchangers, using SSAB Zero™ steel and Outokumpu Circle Green® stainless steel. This partnership reduces the product’s carbon footprint by up to 60% and exemplifies how local initiatives can drive global impact.
As part of the Laakso Joint Hospital project, a new hospital complex under construction in Helsinki, Finland, these heat exchangers will provide an energy-efficient heat transfer solution for the new cooling system, aiming to maintain a low carbon footprint throughout the product life cycle. The new Helsinki hospital is committed to ambitious climate goals, incorporating life cycle considerations from the planning and implementation stages through to construction and maintenance.
The installation of five Alfa Laval Concept Zero™ TL10 gasketed plate heat exchangers at Laakso Joint Hospital in 2025 will enable operational savings and reduced emissions in the upstream value chain.
