XCarb®
Across industries that rely on steel, from manufacturing to transportation, energy and infrastructure, businesses are embracing sustainability to meet today’s needs without compromising tomorrow. We work in partnership with our clients to create systems and solutions that enable progress within the limits of our planet.

A low-emission value chain

Sustainability with Amstrong® spans the entire value chain and extends across industries: from transportation and agriculture to construction, logistics, electrified rail transport, civil engineering, and the construction of high-bay warehouses and racking systems, and beyond. Our goal is to enable lower-emission outcomes across all applications.

Lightweighting with Amstrong® for efficiency and impact

As electrification accelerates, industries face new challenges, particularly the payload penalty. Reducing the total weight of moving equipment is essential. Our high-strength steel solutions contribute by:

  • Offering lightweighting benefits, which reduce material use and energy consumption.
  • Providing access to low carbon-emissions steel through our XCarb® recycled and renewably produced steel offer, with up to 70% reduction in carbon footprint versus steel made via the conventional blast furnace route.

XCarb® a pathway to low-carbon steel

XCarb® is ArcelorMittal’s global initiative to accelerate the transition to net-zero steelmaking. It brings together all low and zero-carbon steelmaking activities, including:

  • Recycled and renewably produced steel, made using electric arc furnaces powered by renewable energy.
  • Steel certificates, which help customers reduce their Scope 3 emissions and demonstrate climate-conscious sourcing.
  • We already deliver steel with significantly reduced emissions, and we are scaling up our efforts to support our customers in meeting their sustainability goals.

XCarb® steel certificates

  • Allowing customers to reduce their or their customers’ scope 3 emissions.
  • Can be purchased directly from ArcelorMittal Europe – Flat Products in conjunction with a corresponding steel order.

XCarb® recycled and renewably produced

Applied to steels produced in an electric arc furnace (EAF) using scrap and 100-percent renewable electricity.

XCarb® recycled and renewably produced:
hot rolled coils

For hot rolled coils this results in a CO2 footprint of 600 kg CO2e per tonne of hot rolled coils.
