Corinth Pipeworks has strengthened its long-standing collaboration with ArcelorMittal in a shared commitment to sustainable steel solutions for the evolving energy sector, Kallanish hears from ArcelorMittal.
Corinth will now also be using XCarb, ArcelorMittal’s low carbon-emissions steel, in its production of energy pipe, the companies announced at the Wire + Tube Fair in Düsseldorf last week.
The collaboration reflects the joint ambition of both companies to contribute to the energy transition by enabling the development of resilient, low-carbon infrastructure.
According to ArcelorMittal, the partnership supports the delivery of pipeline solutions with a significantly reduced environmental footprint, suitable for both conventional and emerging energy applications, including hydrogen transportation.
XCarb is a low carbon-emissions steel made in an electric arc furnace with minimum 75% scrap content and with 100% renewable electricity. The production process reduces CO2 emissions by 65% compared with the traditional steelmaking route in a blast furnace, ArcelorMittal states.
“By integrating low carbon-emissions steel solutions into our production processes, we actively support our customers in building next-generation energy networks,” says Ilias Bekiros, general manager of Corinth Pipeworks.
