ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products is investing in a broad range of initiatives to reduce carbon emissions from the blast furnace. These first, effort-intensive investments on our journey to zero emission steels have resulted in considerable CO2 savings. These savings are aggregated, independently verified, and converted into XCarb® steel certificates.
The certificates are issued by ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products and based on CO2 savings which have been audited by DNV, an independent body.
The certificates can be used by customers to account for, and report, a reduction in their Scope 3 carbon emissions in accordance with the Greenhouse Gas Protocol Corporate Accounting and Reporting Standard.
XCarb® steel certificates can be purchased directly from ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products in conjunction with a corresponding steel order. XCarb® steel certificates can be offered with any of ArcelorMittal’s steel solutions.
How do XCarb® steel certificates work?
“We know that many of our customers want to contribute to decarbonising their supply chain.
That is why we launched the XCarb® steel certificates which have proved very popular with our customers”.
Geert Van Poelvoorde, Executive Vice President and CEO of ArcelorMittal Europe.
