ArcelorMittal launches carbon capture pilot at Belgian complex
Europe’s largest steelmaker starts up project at Ghent site as it pursues CCS as third pillar of decarbonisation strategy
ArcelorMittal has launched a pilot carbon capture unit at its Ghent steelmaking plant in Belgium to test the feasibility of full-scale deployment of the technology. The project, which ArcelorMittal is running together with capture technology provider Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, steelmaking raw materials supplier BHP and Mitsubishi Development, is expected to run for 1–2 years. In October 2022, the four companies announced a collaboration on a multi-year trial of MHI’s Advanced KM CDR Process at multiple emission points, starting at the Ghent site. The Ghent project’s first phase involves separating and capturing the CO₂ from the top gas from the blast furnace at a rate of around 300kg/d, a
