Concept Zero™

Concept Zero − The invisible revolution

Can a heat exchanger be more than just a heat exchanger? At Alfa Laval, we’re committed to a decarbonized future. We’ve pledged to cut Scope 3 emissions across our value chain by 50% by 2030, eliminating emissions from raw materials to end-of-life. Concept Zero™ is a crucial step: a plate heat exchanger with zero fossil carbon emissions.

Together with our partners, we’re making this a reality. These new heat exchangers look the same as today’s—but their impact is revolutionary. Once installed in industrial processes worldwide, they’ll help reduce carbon emissions from both materials and operations, driving a more sustainable society.

Imagine the global impact of these invisible innovations. That’s why we call it “an invisible revolution.

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.
