New DRI and EAF installations at ArcelorMittal Dofasco in Hamilton, Ontario will reduce carbon emissions by approximately 60%. ArcelorMittal has announced with the Government of Canada its intention for a CAD$1.765 billion investment in decarbonisation technologies at ArcelorMittal Dofasco's plant in Hamilton. The intended investments will reduce annual CO2 emissions at ArcelorMittal's Hamilton, Ontario, operations by approximately 3m tonnes, which represents approximately 60% of emissions, within the next seven years. This means the Hamilton plant will transition away from the blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace steelmaking production route to the Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) - Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) route, which carries a significantly lower carbon footprint.
