In the face of an escalating climate crisis, sustainability is no longer optional—it is imperative. At ATABAŞ GRUP, we are proud to align our global trade operations with a commitment to carbon zero emission reduction. Our approach is not limited to rhetoric; it is embedded in the products we trade, the logistics we manage, and the partners we choose.
Carbon-Reducing Products that Make a Difference
Our portfolio includes industrial materials and energy products that directly contribute to lowering global carbon output. Below is an overview of our most impactful offerings:
| Product | Environmental Impact | Contribution to Emission Reduction |
|---|---|---|
| ULSD 10 PPM (Ultra Low Sulphur Diesel) | Low | Contains a maximum of 10 parts per million of sulphur, significantly reducing SO₂ and particulate emissions in combustion. |
| HBI (Hot Briquetted Iron) | Medium-Low | Used in Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF), HBI eliminates the need for coke and reduces CO₂ emissions in steelmaking Carbon Zero. |
| CAN26 (Calcium Ammonium Nitrate Fertilizer) | Controlled | Promotes responsible nitrogen application, increasing soil efficiency and minimizing greenhouse gas release. |
| CEM II Portland Cement | Low | Produced with a lower clinker ratio and supplementary materials, leading to a reduced carbon footprint. |
| Bio-based Additives & Chemicals | Near-Zero | Biodegradable and eco-friendly, supporting circular economy models in agriculture and industry. |
Each of these products has been strategically selected to address industrial demand while enabling customers to meet carbon zero emission targets and ESG requirements.
Operational Strategies to Minimize Carbon Emissions
Beyond the product level, ATABAŞ GRUP implements end-to-end sustainability measures across all operations:
- Optimized Logistics: We utilize multimodal transportation networks and prioritize full-capacity shipments to reduce fuel consumption per ton.
- Blockchain & IPFS Documentation: We have digitized our documentation workflows to eliminate paper waste and enhance auditability.
- Local Sourcing Strategy: Whenever possible, we prioritize suppliers and storage hubs located near export zones to minimize inland transport emissions.
- Certified Partners Only: We collaborate exclusively with producers who operate under ISO 14001 or equivalent environmental standards.
The Role of HBI in Sustainable Industry
Among our key offerings, HBI (Hot Briquetted Iron) stands out as a sustainable alternative to traditional ironmaking materials. By bypassing the blast furnace route and relying on natural gas or hydrogen for reduction, HBI supports the transition to greener steel production.
Furthermore, when used in electric arc furnaces (EAFs), HBI contributes to up to 50% lower CO₂ emissions compared to conventional steelmaking methods. For clients seeking low-carbon raw materials, ATABAŞ GRUP ensures consistent, high-quality HBI supplies from certified sources in the Middle East and Central Asia.
Global Reach, Local Responsibility
ATABAŞ GRUP operates across more than 40 countries, including environmentally sensitive regions in Europe, the Middle East, and Asia. In every market, we maintain the same guiding principle: climate awareness shapes trade decisions.
Vision for 2026 and Beyond
We have established measurable sustainability goals:
- 15% reduction in average transport-related CO₂ emissions by 2026
- At least 40% of traded products to fall under low-emission or eco-certified categories
- 100% digital documentation in all export-import operations by mid-2025
- Stronger partnerships with manufacturers developing green hydrogen-based HBI
Conclusion: Trading with Purpose
Carbon-neutral goals are only achievable if businesses reimagine the role of trade in climate responsibility. At ATABAŞ GRUP, we don’t just sell commodities—we help shape cleaner supply chains.
For partners who wish to reduce their environmental footprint while ensuring reliable product sourcing, ATABAŞ GRUP is more than a supplier. We are your sustainability partner in global trade.
