Trane ships more than 1 million HVAC units made with green steel

A year after signing purchase agreements with two US steelmakers, Trane Technologies has shipped more than 1 million HVAC units produced with low-carbon steel.

In November 2022, Trane announced it would be purchasing low-carbon steel from Charlotte, N.C.-based Nucor Corp., its primary supplier, as well as from Pittsburgh-based U.S. Steel. The move is a part of the company’s emission reduction plans to be net-zero by 2050.
