ArcelorMittal - a key partner for the wind industry
9 November 2022The ability to produce green energy on a massive scale is a key challenge for a sustainable future and has become a high priority in many countries. According to the IEA’s World Energy Outlook 2020, renewable sources of energy are expected to provide almost 40% of the global electricity supply by 2030, and wind will be one of the main contributors.To meet the demand for clean energy, the quantity of wind turbines that must be produced and installed each year will continue to increase at a very high rate. Achieving this production level requires a strong supply chain and high-quality, innovative products. ArcelorMittal has recently published a renewed edition of its 'Steel solutions for the global wind energy industry' brochure, encompassing the products and services of the group’s entities, all useful contact details – and a focus on its XCarb® carbon reduced steel offer.

Since 1 July 2013, the Construction Products Regulation (Regulation (EU) No. 305/2011 – CPR) has required that CE marking be affixed to all products delivered in accordance with a harmonised standard (e.g. EN 10025 for structural steel). This CE marking guarantees the properties described in the declaration of performance submitted by the manufacturer for the uses defined in the standard.
