Alfa Laval, Outokumpu, and SSAB announce new collaboration to reduce emissions at Laakso Joint Hospital in Helsinki
Alfa Laval (ALFVY) has announced a strategic collaboration with Outokumpu and SSAB to integrate low-emission steel into its plate heat exchangers. The partnership, utilizing SSAB Zero™ steel and Outokumpu Circle Green® stainless steel, reduces the product's carbon footprint by up to 60 percent.
The initiative is part of the Laakso Joint Hospital project in Helsinki, Finland, where five Alfa Laval Concept Zero™ TL10 gasketed plate heat exchangers will be installed in 2025. These heat exchangers will provide energy-efficient heat transfer solutions for the new cooling system while maintaining a low carbon footprint throughout the product lifecycle.
This marks the first collaboration between all three companies, though Alfa Laval has previously worked with both Outokumpu and SSAB separately. The project demonstrates how local initiatives can drive global impact in reducing emissions and advancing sustainable industrial solutions.
Alfa Laval (ALFVY) ha annunciato una collaborazione strategica con Outokumpu e SSAB per integrare acciaio a basse emissioni nei suoi scambiatori di calore a piastre. La partnership, che utilizza l'acciaio SSAB Zero™ e l'acciaio inossidabile Outokumpu Circle Green®, riduce l'impronta di carbonio del prodotto fino al 60 percento.
L'iniziativa fa parte del progetto Ospedale Laakso a Helsinki, Finlandia, dove nel 2025 saranno installati cinque scambiatori di calore a piastre guarniti Alfa Laval Concept Zero™ TL10. Questi scambiatori forniranno soluzioni di trasferimento di calore ad alta efficienza energetica per il nuovo sistema di raffreddamento, mantenendo un'impronta di carbonio ridotta durante l'intero ciclo di vita del prodotto.
Questa rappresenta la prima collaborazione tra tutte e tre le aziende, sebbene Alfa Laval abbia precedentemente lavorato con Outokumpu e SSAB separatamente. Il progetto dimostra come le iniziative locali possano avere un impatto globale nella riduzione delle emissioni e nel progresso di soluzioni industriali sostenibili.
Alfa Laval (ALFVY) ha anunciado una colaboración estratégica con Outokumpu y SSAB para integrar acero de bajas emisiones en sus intercambiadores de calor de placas. La asociación, que utiliza acero SSAB Zero™ y acero inoxidable Outokumpu Circle Green®, reduce la huella de carbono del producto en hasta un 60 por ciento.
La iniciativa forma parte del proyecto Hospital Laakso en Helsinki, Finlandia, donde se instalarán cinco intercambiadores de calor de placas con juntas Alfa Laval Concept Zero™ TL10 en 2025. Estos intercambiadores proporcionarán soluciones de transferencia de calor eficientes en términos de energía para el nuevo sistema de refrigeración, manteniendo una baja huella de carbono a lo largo de todo el ciclo de vida del producto.
Esta es la primera colaboración entre las tres empresas, aunque Alfa Laval ha trabajado previamente con Outokumpu y SSAB por separado. El proyecto demuestra cómo las iniciativas locales pueden generar un impacto global en la reducción de emisiones y en el avance de soluciones industriales sostenibles.
알파 라발 (ALFVY)는 아우토쿰푸 및 SSAB와 전략적 협력을 발표하여 저배출 강철을 판형 열교환기에 통합합니다. SSAB Zero™ 강철과 아우토쿰푸 Circle Green® 스테인리스 강철을 활용하는 이 파트너십은 제품의 탄소 발자국을 최대 60%까지 줄입니다.
이 이니셔티브는 핀란드 헬싱키에 있는 라악소 공동 병원 프로젝트의 일환으로, 2025년에는 다섯 개의 알파 라발 Concept Zero™ TL10 개스킷 판형 열교환기가 설치될 예정입니다. 이 열교환기는 새로운 냉각 시스템을 위한 에너지 효율적인 열 전달 솔루션을 제공하며, 제품 생애 주기 전반에 걸쳐 낮은 탄소 발자국을 유지합니다.
이 프로젝트는 세 회사 간의 첫 번째 협력으로, 알파 라발은 이전에 아우토쿰푸와 SSAB와 각각 작업한 경험이 있습니다. 이 프로젝트는 지역 이니셔티브가 어떻게 글로벌 영향력을 발휘하여 배출량을 줄이고 지속 가능한 산업 솔루션을 발전시킬 수 있는지를 보여줍니다.

Le partenariat, utilisant l'acier SSAB Zero™ et l'acier inoxydable Outokumpu Circle Green®, réduit l'empreinte carbone du produit jusqu'à 60 %.
L'initiative fait partie du projet hôpital Laakso à Helsinki, en Finlande, où cinq échangeurs de chaleur à plaques à joint Alfa Laval Concept Zero™ TL10 seront installés en 2025. Ces échangeurs fourniront des solutions de transfert de chaleur écoénergétiques pour le nouveau système de refroidissement tout en maintenant une faible empreinte carbone tout au long du cycle de vie du produit.
Cela marque la première collaboration entre les trois entreprises, bien qu'Alfa Laval ait précédemment travaillé séparément avec Outokumpu et SSAB. Le projet démontre comment les initiatives locales peuvent avoir un impact global sur la réduction des émissions et l'avancement de solutions industrielles durables.
Alfa Laval (ALFVY) hat eine strategische Zusammenarbeit mit Outokumpu und SSAB angekündigt, um emissionsarmen Stahl in seine Plattenwärmetauscher zu integrieren. Die Partnerschaft, die den SSAB Zero™ Stahl und den Outokumpu Circle Green® Edelstahl nutzt, reduziert den CO2-Fußabdruck des Produkts um bis zu 60 Prozent.
Die Initiative ist Teil des Laakso Gemeinschaftskrankenhausprojekts in Helsinki, Finnland, wo 2025 fünf Alfa Laval Concept Zero™ TL10 Dichtungsplattenwärmetauscher installiert werden. Diese Wärmetauscher bieten energieeffiziente Wärmeübertragungslösungen für das neue Kühlsystem und halten gleichzeitig einen niedrigen CO2-Fußabdruck während des gesamten Produktlebenszyklus aufrecht.
Dies ist die erste Zusammenarbeit zwischen allen drei Unternehmen, obwohl Alfa Laval zuvor bereits getrennt mit Outokumpu und SSAB gearbeitet hat. Das Projekt zeigt, wie lokale Initiativen globale Auswirkungen auf die Reduzierung von Emissionen und die Förderung nachhaltiger industrieller Lösungen haben können.

"Our heat exchangers already contribute to reducing our customers' emissions during operation. By utilizing low-emission steel, we are also decreasing emissions in their upstream value chain," says Julien Gennetier, Vice President Energy Division, Alfa Laval. "This collaboration serves as a model for how local initiatives can have a global impact, pushing the boundaries and scaling up the usage of low-emission materials. This results in the lowest carbon footprint ever measured for an Alfa Laval gasketed plate heat exchanger."
Alfa Laval has a long history of cross-industry collaboration, with recent projects involving both Outokumpu and SSAB. However, this marks the first instance of all three companies working together.
"This is one more great step towards a more sustainable future. We are proud to work with companies like Alfa Laval and Outokumpu, since our goal is to build a fossil-free value chain together with our partners and customers. The SSAB ZeroTM steel is made using recycled steel and by using fossil-free energy during the production, the fossil carbon emissions are virtually zero," says Tony Harris, Head of SSAB Europe.
"Decarbonization is not just a goal anymore - it's a necessity, requiring companies to invest and implement energy-efficient and low-emission technologies, such as heat exchangers, to accelerate the green transition. And there we need Nordic likeminded frontrunners to drive the progress," says Rolf Schencking, President for Business Line Advanced Materials at Outokumpu.
Ambitious climate goals in
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.
"Sustainability has played an important role in the Laakso Joint Hospital project with ambitious life cycle goals that have been considered at every phase of the project from design and engineering to construction and maintenance of the buildings. Sharing this deeper understanding with key suppliers and being able to install solutions that not only provide efficient cooling for the hospital but that also have a lower carbon footprint is a great contribution to our mission," says Property Manager Antti Hyökki at the Real Estate Limited Company Laakso Joint Hospital.
*Based on global average emission factors for stainless steel and carbon steel according to Ecoinvent LCI database compared with the specific claims on Outokumpu Circle Green® and SSAB Zero™. According to ISO 14067, considering cradle-to-grave.
