What happened
A carbon capture trial concluded at ArcelorMittal's integrated steelmaking site in Ghent, Belgium, on November 1, 2026. The trial, which used Advanced KM CDR Process™, successfully captured carbon dioxide from blast furnace gas at a pilot scale, exceeding 90 per cent capture rates. The results provided operational and engineering information for potential full-scale application of the technology.

Why it matters
The successful trial indicates that applying the technology at full scale at the Ghent site could reduce the CO2 intensity by up to 24%. If implemented across multiple emission points, the approach could support progress toward near zero emissions intensity at the plant. This validates the technology and improves the corporate sustainability profile of ArcelorMittal.
