The world's first hotel built with low carbon emissions steel structures
20 June 2024Companies in Europe and America are joining forces to build the world’s first hotel using low carbon emissions steel. The new, iconic TRYP hotel by Wyndham Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic will be the first hotel in the world to contain significant quantities of low carbon emissions steel. Wide flange beams made with XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel provided by ArcelorMittal, the world’s leading steel and mining company, and transformed by the Spanish steel processor Sualsa, will be used by World Trade Holding Corp (WTH Corp). Construction began in April 2024, and the low carbon emissions steel structures are due to arrive in the Dominican Republic in July 2024.
Project newsActing sustainably: CO2-reduced steel for Green Teuto Systemtechnik
13 June 2024For the construction of Green Teuto Systemtechnik's (GTS) new production hall in Ibbenbüren, Germany, ArcelorMittal Stahlhandel supplied 1400 tonnes of low emission steel beams. These beams are part of ArcelorMittal's XCarb® recycled and renewably produced offer and are made from 100% recycled scrap in an electric arc furnace powered exclusively by electricity from renewable energy sources. The project is a cooperation between GTS, ArcelorMittal, and WURST Stahlbau.

The world's first hotel built with low carbon emissions steel structures

Companies in Europe and America are joining forces to build the world’s first hotel using low carbon emissions steel. The new, iconic TRYP hotel by Wyndham Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic will be the first hotel in the world to contain significant quantities of low carbon emissions steel. Wide flange beams made with XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel provided by ArcelorMittal, the world’s leading steel and mining company, and transformed by the Spanish steel processor Sualsa, will be used by World Trade Holding Corp (WTH Corp). Construction began in April 2024, and the low carbon emissions steel structures are due to arrive in the Dominican Republic in July 2024.
ArcelorMittal's low emission steel complies with the highest sustainability standards
The XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel structures have been made in ArcelorMittal Olaberria, Spain from 100% recycled steel scrap using 100% renewable electricity in an Electric Arc Furnace (see EPD in right column). This reduces embedded CO2 by up to 70% (depending on the type of steel product used) compared with conventionally produced steel, while maintaining the same quality standards. The structures are currently being delivered by ArcelorMittal Distribution Iberia to the steel processor Sualsa.
The new complex will form part of the world's largest hotel company, Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, under its TRYP brand. The hotel has been designed to the highest sustainability standards and represents an investment of more than 16 million USD shared between Banco BHD León and BIO Investment Group SAS, who are both strongly committed to joining forces in projects contributing to environmental protection, not only in the Dominican Republic, but worldwide. The complex will have 97 rooms, a commercial area of 2200m2, and will open at the end of 2025.
A milestone in the history of the hotel industry with a powerful message
Eng. Nigel La Chapelle, Chairman of WTH and BIO Investment Group, said: “This pioneering project not only represents a milestone in the history of the hotel industry, but also reflects our commitment to the environment. Using low carbon emissions steel significantly reduces the carbon footprint and fosters the conservation of natural resources. Our hotel will not only be an exceptional destination for its guests, but also a model to be followed in the search for more sustainable solutions and for the construction industry. From the choice of the materials to its design and operation, every aspect of this project has been carefully studied to maximise its positive environmental impact and to strengthen a powerful message: it is possible to build a better future if we have the courage to ‘dream big’ and the commitment to act with determination.”
Louis Alicea, Senior Director of Sales and Franchise Development at Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, said: “As the world's leading hospitality company, we are uniquely positioned to create a significant positive impact on the world while fulfilling our mission of making hotel travel possible for everyone. We are incredibly proud to work with WTH and BIO. Our goal is to do business in a way that brings pride to our team members, owners, and guests."
Jorge Álvarez, CEO of the Sualsa family group, said: "Since 1981 we have been involved in projects in different countries, and it is very exciting to be part of the beginning of the change of consciousness in the new manufacturing of steel structures, demonstrating that everything can be done in a more sustainable way. XCarb® recycled and renewably produced provides us with the same quality, mechanical, and resistance characteristics as conventionally manufactured A992 grade steel. For the TRYP by Wyndham Punta Cana, a ‘super structure’ made of steel structures has been designed using the latest 3D software technology ensuring it is able to withstand seismic activity and hurricanes that could take place in the area. We will manufacture the structure in Spain, under strict quality controls, and it will be transported in sea containers. At the end of July, the prefabricated and ready-to-bolt material will be received in the Dominican Republic, a condition that will considerably reduce construction times and the generation of waste on site. This new way of proceeding will contribute to the reduction of our carbon footprint, both for this hotel and for Sualsa’s future projects.”
Cédric Bouzar, CEO, ArcelorMittal Downstream Solutions said: “We are proud when partners like Sualsa, WTH, and BIO choose our low carbon emissions steel to reduce the carbon footprint of their projects This project is particularly exciting as it is the first hotel to contain XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel structures, setting a high standard for the rest of the industry to follow when reducing their supply chain emissions.”
XCarb® brings together all of ArcelorMittal’s reduced, low, and zero-carbon products and steelmaking activities into a single effort focussed on achieving demonstrable progress towards carbon neutral steel.

Acting sustainably: CO2-reduced steel for Green Teuto Systemtechnik

These beams are part of ArcelorMittal's XCarb® recycled and renewably produced offer and are made from 100% recycled scrap in an electric arc furnace powered exclusively by electricity from renewable energy sources. The project is a cooperation between GTS, ArcelorMittal, and WURST Stahlbau.
Steel with 70% lower CO2 emissions
As part of its commitment to sustainability and environmental awareness, GTS - a Krone Group company and manufacturer of agricultural machinery and commercial vehicles - has made a landmark decision. GTS planned the construction of its first production site in Ibbenbüren with a strong focus on sustainable construction methods. The company is using the CO2-reduced steel, XCarb® recycled and renewably produced, which has around 70% lower CO2 emissions than conventionally produced steel. The approximately 1400 tonnes of steel will be installed by the Bersenbrück-based company WURST Stahlbau.
Jochen Roling, Managing Director of GTS, emphasises the effects of the construction project. "From structural steel to photovoltaics and heat pump technology - we have ensured the best possible energy supply for this new construction project in accordance with the KfW 40EE standard - renewable energies. As part of the Krone Group, we were able to prove here that we consistently implement sustainability and environmental awareness. We are part of a family business that has been acting responsibly for four generations. We set standards in terms of sustainable industry - starting with the construction steel."
Oliver Menrath, Managing Director of ArcelorMittal Steel Trading Germany, is also positive about the collaboration: "We are delighted to be part of this forward-looking project. We can already supply CO2-reduced steel today. This cooperation shows that environmentally friendly steel is increasingly in demand and will continue to play a key role in achieving climate targets."
Christian Wurst, Managing Director of WURST Stahlbau and President of the German Steel Construction Association (DSTV), also welcomes the GTS approach of implementing the greatest possible sustainability throughout the entire construction project: "At a time when we are always focussing on compliance with the Paris Climate Agreement in everything we do, the use of low emission steel is a clear commitment to reducing the industrial CO2 footprint."
