CRONICA VASCA has reported that ArcelorMittal’s Acería Compacta de Bizkaia plant in Sestao in Spain will resume production on 11 February to process one order of hot rolled pickled & oiled coils through the electric arc furnace but will shut down again on the 17 February and for now there is no date for sustained production over time. ACB Sestao was halted last August for maintenance, but the forecast for lower demand has prompted the steelmaker to delay the resumption of activities. Having received the first go-ahead from Europe, the Austrian administration has begun the environmental permits to start up the new green steel mill in Gijon that will green steel produced with green hydrogen to Sestao. For now ArcelorMittal maintains the roadmap that would lead the ACB to work at full capacity of 1.6 million tonnes in 2025, becoming the first steel mill with zero emissions.
