pv magazine Webinar | Mitigating the CO2 footprint in solar: low-carbon steel for PV

PV systems are not entirely carbon-neutral, with steel used in mounting structures being a significant contributor. However, the carbon footprint of steel can vary substantially depending on its production methods.

Join us for this webinar where ArcelorMittal expert Jean-Louis Remlinger will introduce XCarb®, the low carbon-emissions steel, and demonstrate how it contributes to the decarbonization of PV systems. We will discuss the concept of carbon payback in PV farms, comparing XCarb® with conventional steel to illustrate how quickly the emissions savings can outweigh production-related emissions.

Jean-Louis will be joined by his colleagues Walter Perez Villa and Luca Marioni to further examine opportunities for retrofitting and revamping existing PV plants using low-carbon Magnelis® coated steel to enhance both efficiency and durability. Additionally, we’ll present a comprehensive Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and share the Environmental Product Declaration (EPD) of the Magnelis® coating, which provides a certified and standardized report on the environmental impact of our products.

Finally, we’ll showcase real-life examples of how XCarb® and Magnelis® have been successfully implemented in large-scale PV projects across Europe.
