ArcelorMittal Fos-sur-Mer inaugurates its ladle furnace
ArcelorMittal Fos-sur-Mer has commissioned its ladle furnace, an important milestone in the French site's contribution to the steel industry's energy transition.
3 October 2024, 14.00 CET
The installation was inaugurated on 26 September by Mr Christophe Mirmand, Prefect of Provence Alpes Côte d'Azur Region, Ms Isabelle Campagnola-Savon, President of the Commission for Business, representing Mr Renaud Muselier, President of the Sud Region, and Mr René Raimondi, Mayor of Fos-sur-Mer.
The project was announced in 2021 during a visit by Mr Bruno Le Maire, former French Minister of Economy. Once the ladle furnace is fully commissioned and production is ramped up, the CO2 emissions of the site will be reduced by around 10%.
