ArcelorMittal applies innovative carbon-neutral steel solutions to reduce embodied carbon in construction projects.
“Enable high-performance design by using less but stronger steels for resistance-driven elements. Engage with manufacturers to understand the industry’s realities and where embodied carbon lies in your project.
And most importantly: act early, collaborate, and be willing to think outside the box, as time can be the enemy of sustainability.”— Marion Charlier, PhD, Advanced Building Solutions and Sustainability Lead at ArcelorMittal
Understanding the carbon emissions related to steelmaking
Before we dive into fine details of ArcelorMittal’s journey we first need to understand the carbon emissions related to producing steel.
There are different ways of manufacturing steel, and each steelmaking route has its own carbon footprint. These are explained and more about ArcelorMittal’s path to carbon-neutral steel production in their case study below
