BS is actively reducing greenhouse gas emissions through energy-saving programs, process optimization, and the replacement of high global warming potential refrigeration systems. In 2023, BAHRU acquired 30,145 MWh of Green Energy Tariff (GET), equivalent to 57% of annual electricity consumption, contributing to a reduction of 23,513 tons of carbon emissions. BS recognizes the importance of renewable energy in sustainable steel manufacturing.

Annealing is an energy intensive process.  With the elevated high cost of energy, the gas consumption reduction initiative is an important measure to obtain lower energy operation cost and improve the energy intensity. The AP2 furnace revamping project to minimize the heat loss at furnace exit section had completed in late 2022, reduced natural gas consumption by 6%, improving energy efficiency and contributing to Scope 1 GHG emission reduction. This initiative lowers energy costs and aligns with climate change mitigation and ESG commitments.

To address climate change and sustainability concerns, BS is considering the adoption of renewable energy, including solar panel installations on rooftops and ground-mounted systems. The company plans to install 13.8 MWP of Solar PV on production plant rooftops, generating 17.5 GWh of renewable energy annually. Ground-mounted installations could double this output. These initiatives are expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 13,000 to 25,000 tons per year.
