what happened
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries said a carbon capture pilot at ArcelorMittal's Gent plant captured more than 90% of CO2 over 4,500+ hours of operation. The company estimates that, if scaled up, the site's CO2 intensity could fall by as much as 24%.
The second phase will test capture on gases from the reheating furnace of the hot strip mill. The information was reported by TradingView, citing a press release from the company distributed by Japan Corporate News.
why it matters
For markets this is mainly a technology milestone: it supports the case for carbon capture in steelmaking, a hard-to-abate sector. The release gives no commercial contracts or cost figures, so direct market impact looks limited for now.
