Norway’s oldest steel and metal distributor Norsk Stal has decided to stock ArcelorMittal’s XCarb recycled and renewably produced steel beams. Norsk Stal supplies the offshore, shipbuilding, construction and mechanical industry markets, and has a vision to continuously develop and provide a ‘sustainable and efficient stockholding’ as well as recognising the importance of steel in the development of a sustainable society. Buying XCarb recycled and renewably produced beams was therefore a natural decision for the Norwegian distributor, to contribute to the company’s and country’s commitment to the Paris Agreement, while also being able to offer customers low-carbon products.There is a growing demand for low emission steel throughout Scandinavia, and with its EPD at 333 kg CO2e per tonne of sections and merchant bars, XCarb recycled and renewably produced is the first product to offer a guarantee of up to 100 percent recycled scrap steel and 100 percent renewable electricity coming from solar and wind projects.XCarb, launched by ArcelorMittal in March this year, is an initiative which brings together all of ArcelorMittal’s reduced, low and zero-carbon products and steelmaking activities. In addition to XCarb recycled and renewably produced, ArcelorMittal’s XCarb initiatives also includes XCarb green steel certificates which are specifically designed for ArcelorMittal’s steel products made from iron ore in a blast furnace. They are based on real CO2 savings achieved through these practical activities as well as wider initiatives which reduce ArcelorMittal’s carbon footprint and projects aimed at green innovation. The savings are independently assured by DNV GL.
