The global steel company ArcelorMittal has invested more than PLN 10.5 billion ($2.6 billion) in its Polish assets over the past 20 years, with a significant portion allocated to environmental projects. According to a press release from ArcelorMittal Poland, these investments have resulted in a 90% reduction in dust emissions and a 42% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions compared to 2004 levels.
The company’s Polish division has undergone numerous changes in the past two decades, implementing new technologies in compliance with increasingly strict EU directives, decommissioning outdated installations, and modifying many production processes to minimize environmental impact. ArcelorMittal aims to achieve climate neutrality by 2050, with an interim goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 35% at its European plants by 2030 compared to 2018.
"Decarbonization is a huge challenge for the steel industry across Europe," commented Sanjay Samaddar, President of the Board of ArcelorMittal Pol
