Parcisa reaches agreement with Outokumpu to manufacture tanks with green steel

Parcisa, a leader in the design and manufacture of tankers for liquid transport, has reached an agreement with Outokumpu, the manufacturer with the lowest carbon footprint in the world (77% lower than the industry average), to incorporate Circle Green® green steel into its tanker vehicles.  

With this agreement, Parcisa becomes a pioneer in its sector by using Outokumpu Circle Green®, the stainless steel with the lowest carbon footprint in the world, with up to 93% fewer emissions than the global average for the sector (0.5 tCO2 eq/tn compared to 7t CO₂eq/tn for stainless steel). 

Outokumpu has made a significant commitment to reducing the carbon footprint of its entire stainless steel production, with a 32% reduction in emissions intensity from 2016 to 2024 and a commitment to carbon neutrality by 2050. 

To manufacture Circle Green® green steel, Outokumpu optimises all its processes, uses 100% scrap and 100% low-carbon electricity, certifies the specific carbon footprint of each production (including Scope 1, 2 and 3) and audits the entire process by a third party, following international standards. 

‘This agreement with Outokumpu allows us to move towards a more sustainable transport model. We want our tankers to be an active part of the energy transition, offering our customers a solution in line with the highest environmental standards and actively participating in the decarbonisation of the steel and transport industry in Europe,’ said [Constancio Villodre Rus, CEO of Parcisa].  

Parcisa's commitment to sustainability goes beyond the use of green steel in its tanker manufacturing. We incorporate additional sustainable elements into our designs, including: 

• Polyethylene covers, 100% recyclable, lightweight and reducing the total weight of the tanker. 
• Category A tyres, which improve transport energy efficiency, reduce fuel or energy consumption and increase safety. 
• The use of more durable materials, which extend the useful life of tankers and reduce waste generation. 
• Collaboration with suppliers aligned with sustainable criteria, ensuring that the entire value chain is committed to reducing environmental impact. 
• Parcisa connect. This smart monitoring technology reduces your carbon footprint and energy costs per delivery to ensure the sustainability of your commercial operations. 

In addition, this tanker incorporates photovoltaic panels which, with the energy generated and the incorporation of a battery, allow different accessories to be powered. Some examples are the air compressor, the Maxi 80 collection pump, refrigeration equipment for tankers such as those used to transport beer, and other accessories such as air conditioning. 

With these decisions, Parcisa is not only responding to current market demands, but also anticipating the 2030 regulations, a global action plan promoted by the United Nations to achieve sustainable development and improve environmental protection. 

In this way, Parcisa is strengthening its position as an innovative and responsible company, aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and with the goal of contributing to climate neutrality by 2050.
