Site Change story Top five use cases Impact Novelis Uhrichsville, United StatesNovelis’ recycling facility achieved 97% recycled aluminium content, significantly reducing its reliance on energy-intensive primary production. This was achieved through advanced scrap segregation, procurement strategies and digital tools, earning GreenCircle certification. Scope 3 emissions from bauxite mining and primary aluminum production make up 85% of Novelis carbon footprint. With a greenhouse gas intensity of only 1.1 metric tons of carbon dioxide per metric ton of aluminium – far below the industry average of 5.8 metric tons – the site contributes 25% of Novelis’ North American sales and advances its goal of achieving carbon neutrality by 2050.Maximizing circularity through strong sortation & segregation procedures 47% Primary material consumption Increase recycled content through flexible equipment design 5% Total scrap processed Maximizing recycled content through data analytics 53% Scope 3 emissions Nucor Sedalia, United StatesThe steel industry contributes 7%-8% of global carbon dioxide emissions. In January 2020, Nucor launched a $250 million electric arc furnace mill in Sedalia, Missouri, achieving zero scope 2 emissions via a 75-megawatt power purchase agreement with Utility Energy. Additionally, scope 1 emissions were reduced by nearly 60% through the pre-heating of scrap steel with waste heat and an innovative micro mill technology.Reducing scope 1 emissions through waste heat recovery for scrap preheating 65% Natural gas per ton of steel produced Zero scope 2 emissions through power purchase agreement (PPA) 100% Scope 2 emissions per ton of steel produced Eliminating need for reheating through micro mill technology 90% Natural gas per ton of steel produced Siemens Fürth, GermanySiemens Fürth aims to achieve net zero by 2026, four years ahead of the company’s corporate target. Based on the foundation of extensive energy metering and a cross- department sustainability team, the site deployed multiple solutions including an on-site repair centre for product lifetime extension, electromagnetic filtering for power quality enhancement and end-to- end product carbon footprint management. This has led to energy savings of 12% in absolute terms and 64% per volume, even as overall throughput increased by 145%. Holistic energy management and optimization (building & production) 8% Energy consumption Energy saving through power quality conditioning (EP-X filter) 3.8% Energy consumption Product lifetime extension services 58.4% Avoided emissions Global Lighthouse Network: The Mindset Shifts Driving Impact and Scale in Digital Transformation 47
