Case Study: Spaeter wins a seven-figure green steel deal with CarbonChain

How Spaeter won a 7-figure steel sale with CarbonChain scenario analysis

Carl Spaeter Gruppe, one of Europe’s premier steel traders, faced a high-stakes green steel RFP from an industry-leading manufacturer. The buyer required third-party validated product carbon footprint quotes to prove the steel would meet strict emissions thresholds, creating a need for fast, credible carbon insights. Spaeter turned to CarbonChain and its scenario analysis capabilities to model the supply chain from cradle to customer.

Using CarbonChain’s platform, Spaeter generated verified carbon footprint quotes in just hours based on mills, rolling partners, customer location, and transport route. The analysis confirmed the sourcing plan would meet the buyer’s green steel criteria, helped build trust with third-party-backed data, and directly contributed to Spaeter winning a major portion of the multi-thousand-tonne RFP. The result was a seven-figure EUR revenue win for Spaeter, with CarbonChain turning carbon data into a commercial advantage.
