ArcelorMittal Announced Partnership with Schneider Electric on Low-Carbon Steel

SEATTLE (Scrap Monster): ArcelorMittal and Schneider Electric have entered into a partnership, by which the steelmaker will supply Schneider Electric with XCarb recycled and renewably produced steel for its electrical cabinets and enclosures.

Having a very high proportion of recycled steel, XCarb recycled and renewably produced steel is produced in electric arc furnace, powered with 100% renewable electricity. The EAF production results in 70% lower carbon dioxide emissions when compared with the same product made without XCarb recycled and renewably produced steel.

The XCarb recycled and renewably produced steel from ArcelorMittal will be used by Schneider Electric to manufacture the new PanelSeT SFN floor-standing enclosures, which are built to withstand tough operating environments. The metallic coating on the product offers high corrosion protection.

The partnership is the result of several months of technical partnership and collaboration between ArcelorMittal Steel Services Centre Europe and Schneider Electric.

Commenting on the partnership with Schneider Electric, Cedric Bouzar, CEO ArcelorMittal Downstream Solutions said that the company is proud to partner with Schneider Electric, given the company’s sustainability leadership and carbon emissions reduction in its value chain.
