ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products
“We are immensely proud that we can now provide heavy plate with a CO2 footprint that is around 60-percent lower than the same product made via the conventional steelmaking route,” notes Denis Parein, Commercial Head of Heavy Plate for ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products. “As well as meeting growing customer demand, it also addresses the legitimate concerns of local authorities and end users who want to significantly reduce the carbon footprint of projects related to the energy transition and construction.”

To further enhance the sustainability credentials of our XCarb® recycled and renewably produced heavy plate, ArcelorMittal has prepared an Environmental Product Declaration (EPD). “The EPD is being published by an independent third-party accreditation organisation,” says Denis Parein. “The EPD will meet the EN 15804 European standard when it is published. That process is expected to be completed by end of September 2023.”
In addition to its low carbon footprint, ArcelorMittal has also enhanced the dimensional feasibility of our heavy plate offer. Denis Parein explains: “We already offer plates in widths up to 3300 mm and lengths from 4 to 21 metres. Following investments at our plate mill at Gijon (Spain), we will increase the maximum length of our plate to 25 metres from the third quarter of 2023. The investments have addressed the needs of our customers who require very long plates which are typically used in the latest offshore wind structures and demanding civil engineering projects.”
