ArcelorMittal was at WindEnergy Hamburg 2024, taking place from 24 to27 September, where we showcased our smarter steels for people and the planet. Central to our presence was XCarb®, our low-carbon emissions steel range, which is helping to transform the wind energy industry by significantly reducing the carbon footprint of steel used in the wind sector.
Steel plays a vital role in the energy transition, and as the leading material in the construction of wind turbines, it’s essential that this steel is produced sustainably. ArcelorMittal’s XCarb® recycled and renewably produced (RRP) products deliver substantial CO₂ reductions, offering the only low-carbon emissions steel with certified Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) in Europe. This innovation has already been deployed in prestigious wind energy projects, supporting Europe’s shift to renewable energy.
With extensive experience in the wind energy sector, ArcelorMittal has supplied steel for more than 10,000 wind turbine towers, offshore substations, foundations, and cutting-edge floating wind developments. As one of Europe’s leading steel producers, we offer comprehensive, customised steel solutions for both onshore and offshore projects, including wind turbine foundations, jackets, and topsides. Our expertise and experience make us a trusted partner for the most ambitious wind energy projects across Europe.
A European energy transition requires steel made in Europe, and ArcelorMittal is proud to support this important shift with our XCarb® range. Whether it’s our heavy plates, beams, wire products, or structural components, ArcelorMittal products are designed to meet the unique demands of the wind energy sector, with many available in low-carbon emissions XCarb® versions.
The future of energy is powered by smarter steels!
