XCarb® recycled and renewably produced applies to products made via the Electric Arc Furnace route using scrap steel and 100% renewable energy.

By using only scrap steel and renewable energy, XCarb® recycled and renewably produced products have an extremely low CO, footprint that can be as low as approximately 300kg of CO₂ per tonne of finished steel when the metallics are 100% scrap. 

The electricity used in the steelmaking process is independently verified, with a ‘Guarantee of Origin’ given that it is from renewable sources. This is ensured by our purchasing of ‘Renewable Energy Certificates’ (RECs), a market-based offering that certifies the bearer owns a specific amount (in megawatt-hours) of electricity generated from a renewable energy resource. 

With the launch of XCarb^TM, ArcelorMittal Dofasco has published following EPDs to highlight the benefits of recycled and renewably produced steel:

XCarb EPD for Cold Formed Sections

XCarb EPD for Corrugated Steel Pipe

XCarb EPD for Hollow Structural Sections
