Initially, the production through the new Electric Steel Mill will allow a reduction in<sub>CO2<\/sub> emissions of more than 35%, with the possibility of reaching a reduction of 1 million tons of<sub>CO2<\/sub> equivalent per year once the transition phase is completed. <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<p><a id=\"_msocom_1\"><\/a><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-28f84493 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"592\" src=\"https:\/\/www.otja.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/LEAF-1024x592.png\" alt=\"otja\" class=\"wp-image-1331\" style=\"width:746px;height:auto\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.otja.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/LEAF-1024x592.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.otja.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/LEAF-300x173.png 300w, https:\/\/www.otja.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/LEAF-768x444.png 768w, https:\/\/www.otja.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/LEAF.png 1422w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Project Longs Electric Arc Furnace LEAF (Longs Electric Arc Furnace) Promoter ArcelorMittal Espa\u00f1a S.
