ArcelorMittal, Corinth Pipeworks expand partnership to produce low carbon steel pipes

ArcelorMittal has expanded its collaboration with Corinth Pipeworks, a Greek steel pipe manufacturer, to accelerate the implementation of low-carbon steel solutions for energy infrastructure. The move marks another step in efforts to decarbonize the industry.

XCARB®steel introduced into pipe production

The partnership introduces for the first time the use of recycled and renewable XCARB® steel in the production of energy pipes. The material is produced using an electric arc furnace using at least 75 percent recycled scrap and 100 percent renewable electricity.

According to the company, XCarb® steel reduces carbon emissions by up to 65 percent compared to traditional blast furnace production. The product also helps customers to reduce indirect emissions and conforms to the principles of circular economy.

Focus on advanced energy infrastructure

By combining ArcelorMittal's low-emission steel production capabilities with the advanced manufacturing expertise of Corinth Pipeworks, the collaboration aims to provide high-performance pipeline solutions with reduced environmental impact. These solutions are designed for both traditional energy systems and new applications such as hydrogen transportation infrastructure.

The integration of low-carbon steel into pipeline production is seen as a key step in the development of sustainable and future-ready energy networks.
