To permanently reduce CO 2 emissions, steelmaker ArcelorMittal has developed a low-emissions technology strategy, which targets not only the use of alternative feedstocks and the conversion of CO 2 emissions, but also the direct avoidance of carbon (Carbon Direct Avoidance, CDA). The project costs amount to around €65 million (US$73 million).
