Combar® – Innovative materials as an alternative One strategy for reducing this emissions burden in the supply chain is to develop new, climate-friendly material technologies that have equal or superior properties to energy-intensive starting materials. Schöck has paved the way for this in the area of concrete reinforcement with the innovative glass fibre composite material Combar®. The low thermal conductivity, corrosion resistance and other advantageous properties of the new material make the reinforcement solution a proven means of reducing the CO2 footprint in the production and use of the products. GHG emissions 2021 in tonnes of CO2 worldwide As the following table shows, the largest volume of CO2 emissions occurs outside Schöck's direct sphere of influence in the upstream and downstream processes of Scope 3. The highest CO2 burden arises from the procurement of the energy-intensive primary materials stainless steel, reinforcement steel and cement we need to make our products. The emissions in Scope 3 currently account for about 82% of the total emissions. Nevertheless, it remains an important task for Schöck to further reduce the comparatively low CO2 emissions in Scopes 1 and 2. 40.000 Status 2021, Source: upp, Kassel 30.000 20.000 10.000 0 4.957 2.719 35.817 Scope 3 Scope 2 Scope 1 t CO2 53 Schöck Sustainability Report 2022
