ArcelorMittal receives 2nd consecutive ENERGY STAR® honour
03/03/2009
On March 2, ArcelorMittal was selected for the 2nd consecutive year as an ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year for excellent Energy Management. ArcelorMittal continues to be the only steel company to achieve this respected distinction granted by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Department of Energy.
Since 2006, ArcelorMittal's US facilities have focused on improving energy efficiency and reducing costs - all while increasing productivity. To accomplish these goals, the company launched an Energy Reduction Initiative that, over the past 3 years, has helped it accomplish a 4.1% improvement in energy intensity. This is equivalent to 131 million US dollars of annualised savings.
The challenge continues...
"While we have a lot to celebrate, we must continue to find ways to decrease energy use," said Larry Fabina, Energy Conservation Programme Manager, ArcelorMittal USA. "Our commitment to energy reduction is an ongoing process and does not end when goals are achieved."
Over the past 2 years, ArcelorMittal's US facilities have achieved energy savings by reducing use of natural gas, fuel oil and purchased electricity. ArcelorMittal also worked hard to spread the word about energy conservation to its employees, families, suppliers, end users and general public.
