A Brazilian producer of slabs and flat products, ArcelorMittal Tubarão, has declared the first sale of steel products with the XCarb environmental certificate (reducing CO2 emissions during production). The company said, by purchasing these products, customers can cut on average 75% of the carbon emissions associated with ArcelorMittal steel over the life of the product.
The steel batches have already been produced and delivered. The buyers are Águia Sistemas, a company that provides storage, processing and automation of internal logistics systems, and Espaço Smart, a household goods company. According to ArcelorMittal, the reduction in emissions was achieved mainly through the use of natural gas in blast furnaces, which replaced some of the coking coal used in the production process.
According to Eduardo Zanotti, commercial vice president of ArcelorMittal Flat Carbon in Latin America, the group’s global target is to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. A number of measures are already being taken to achieve this, such as the XCarb program. Last summer, ArcelorMittal started a program to finance and support decarbonisation projects in India as part of the XCarb innovation fund.
Together with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT Madras), the company will identify and provide environmental startups that will contribute to the decarbonisation of industry. The program is also supported by ArcelorMittal AMNS, an Indian steelmaker. Brazil’s ArcelorMittal Pecem hits its design capacity producing 3 million tonnes of slabs in 2023.
