ArcelorMittal Usage of Hydrogen Draws Criticism

ArcelorMittal has long touted its commitment to climate leadership and decarbonization. However, recent assessments reveal a stark misalignment between its claims and actions.

Despite its size and influence, ArcelorMittal’s trajectory falls short of the transformational changes required to mitigate climate change adequately.

While ArcelorMittal positions itself as a frontrunner in steel decarbonization, independent assessments suggest otherwise. The company’s failure to align its operations with the ambitious goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius casts doubt on its climate leadership claims. Moreover, evidence indicates a significant gap between rhetoric and action, with ArcelorMittal backtracking on its own stated commitments.

One of the most concerning aspects highlighted by the Corporate Climate Assessment is ArcelorMittal’s apparent prioritization of shareholder interests over decarbonization imperatives. Despite mounting pressure to reduce carbon emissions, the company’s financial decisions seem to favor short-term gains over long-term sustainability goals. This approach raises questions about ArcelorMittal’s genuine commitment to combating climate change.

With operations spanning nearly 20 countries across Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia, ArcelorMittal wields significant influence over the global steel market. However, its 2023 carbon footprint, amounting to 114.3 MtCO2e, is comparable to the emissions of an entire nation like Belgium. This staggering carbon output underscores the urgent need for ArcelorMittal to intensify its decarbonization efforts.

As a key player in the steel industry, ArcelorMittal’s actions set a crucial precedent for climate action within the sector. However, the discordance between its claims of climate leadership and its actual performance raises concerns about the industry’s overall trajectory. If ArcelorMittal fails to course-correct and prioritize decarbonization, it risks undermining broader efforts to combat climate change.
