Sustainability

Our journey towards becoming carbon neutral by

2050, having aligned with the Paris climate goals
and the European Green Deal by committing to
reduce European CO2 emissions by 35% by 2030 and
be carbon neutral by 2050, is well underway.

As Europe’s largest steelmaker, we have a significant

role to play. We are pioneering two breakthrough
carbon-neutral technology routes: Smart Carbon
and an innovative DRI-based route, and have
projects underway for each of these routes to ensure
we achieve our goals on time.

In 2021, we launched XCarb®, to group together

all the reduced, low and zero-carbon steelmaking
activities of ArcelorMittal, as well as wider initiatives
and green innovation projects.

Our industry-first XCarb® green steel certificates

allow customers to report an equivalent reduction
in their Scope 3 emissions, in accordance with the
Greenhouse Gas Protocol.

The XCarb® recycled and renewably produced

label is applied to our steels produced with up to
100-percent recycled content and using energy
which only comes from renewable sources.

Sustainability investments
highlights
New, ongoing and recently completed
­investments in Europe:
Belgium
ArcelorMittal Belgium will reduce CO2 emissions by 3.9 million tonnes
per year by 2030, by building a 2.5 million-tonne direct reduced iron
(DRI) plant and two electric furnaces at its Ghent site, to operate
alongside its state-of-the-art blast furnace that is ready to take
waste wood and plastics as a substitute for fossil carbon.

United Kingdom
ArcelorMittal has acquired Scottish
recycling business John Lawrie Metals Ltd.
The acquisition is part of ArcelorMittal’s
strategy to increase the use of scrap steel
to lower CO2 emissions from steelmaking.

France
ArcelorMittal has announced a major
environmental investment in its French
steelmaking sites at Dunkirk and Fos-
sur-Mer. The investments will reduce
ArcelorMittal’s CO2 emissions in France
by close to 40 percent (7.8 million tonnes)
annually by 2030. The transformation
equates to a 10 percent reduction in
greenhouse gas emissions for the entire
French manufacturing industry.

Spain
ArcelorMittal’s Sestao plant in Spain
will become the world’s first, full-scale,
zero carbon emissions, steel plant.
ArcelorMittal signed a memorandum of
understanding (MoU) with the Spanish
Government in July 2021 that will see a
€1 billion investment in decarbonisation
technologies at ArcelorMittal Asturias’ plant
in Gijón, including a 2.3 million-tonne green
hydrogen DRI plant and a hybrid EAF.
/
ArcelorMittal is one of the anchor sponsors
of HyDeal España, the world’s largest
integrated renewable and competitive
hydrogen hub. The plant will deliver
competitive renewable hydrogen to an
industrial complex in Asturias from facilities
in northern Spain.
 Fact book 2022 | ArcelorMittal Europe 11

Germany
ArcelorMittal is planning to build a large-
scale industrial plant in Bremen (Germany)
for the direct reduction of iron ore (DRI)
and EAF-based steelmaking. An innovative
DRI pilot plant and EAF will also be built in
Eisenhüttenstadt. The projects were launched
after Germany announced plans to expand
the country’s hydrogen production and
transport infrastructure.
/
The German government has committed
to supply €55 million to fund ArcelorMittal’s
Hydrogen DRI plant in Hamburg. This is half
of the total capital expenditure required.
The demonstrator plant will lay the foundation
for a new steelmaking process which will
enable steel to be produced with zero carbon
emissions[1]. The process uses EAFs fed with
hydrogen-reduced DRI and scrap metal,
and powered by renewable electricity.

Luxembourg
ArcelorMittal Differdange hosts Luxembourg’s
first floating solar farm. The plant will produce
3 GWh/year, enough energy to power almost
800 local homes. The electricity produced on
the floating solar farm will be fed into the local
grid and contributes to Luxembourg’s energy
self‑sufficiency.
/
As part of its decarbonisation strategy,
ArcelorMittal has launched a project to build
a biogas production plant at ArcelorMittal
Rodange in Luxembourg. This new facility will
reduce the CO2 footprint of the rolling mill.

What our customers say about us

“As an almost 200-year-old company, we

must continuously be at the forefront of
new developments in the market. That’s why
stocking ArcelorMittal’s XCarb® recycled
and renewably produced steel beams was a
natural choice for us.”
Leif G. Hübert, Director of Supply Chain,
Norsk Stål

“ArcelorMittal is our leading steel provider

and an important partner for KRONE. We
also cooperate on research and develop­
ment in a very open and transparent way.”
Georg Sasse, Head of Strategic Purchasing
for KRONE

“When we decided to change location

and build our own headquarters, we knew
we were looking for a state-of-the-art
new home. Steel appeared immediately
as a unifying element for the offices and
warehouse. It turns them into a unit and
creates an exceptional aesthetic. It is so
unique that our new factory has become
Atecna’s brand identity.”
Gorka Lacunza, CEO of Atecna

“For many years we have been working with

ArcelorMittal and their engineering support
team on building projects. A recent success
story is an iconic tall building project in
Morocco - the Rabat Tower. The Tower is
built with rolled sections made from quality
HISTAR® steel and used as heavy columns.
We appreciate ArcelorMittal’s response
times, depth of expertise, unique steel
quality, and all the help we received to meet
the project’s delivery times. It is always
good to have a partner that is willing to find
solutions which can help the project and
reduce costs. ArcelorMittal did exactly that!”
NS Rao, Chief Operating Officer of
Eversendai Engineering L.L.C.
 Fact book 2022 | ArcelorMittal Europe 15

“The use of steel in the structure and the

envelope of this building is motivated partly
by its lightness. Steel is also capable of
relating more to the spirit of Atecna, lighter,
dynamic and innovative.”
Inigo Beguiristain – Architect

“I recommend ArcelorMittal Sheet Piling for

the company’s reliability, service, and top-
notch technical assistance. ArcelorMittal is
the best-in-class when it comes to technical
documentation.”
Kari Geirlaugsson, CEO of Gudmundur
Arason Ehf

“KS and our customers value the powerful

environmental aspects of Magnelis® Light.
Magnelis® Light means we use less
resources, create more durable products
which require less maintenance, and our
processing is easier. And at the end of its life,
a product made with Magnelis® Light is 100
percent recyclable.”
Corne Rottier, General Manager of KS
Service Center, a steel processing centre in
the Netherlands

“We have ordered the first 1,000 tonnes

of steel based on XCarb® green steel
certificates for our products. This is our
way of supporting ArcelorMittal in the
transformation to a greener steel industry.
Steel produced with a lower carbon footprint
fits very well into our own sustainability
strategy.”
