ArcelorMittal Your partner around the world Increasing consumption of electricity and the need to reduce CO2 emissions are two of the main reasons for the strong growth in renewable energy technologies. Ambitious greenhouse gas reduction targets in the EU and other regions are reinforcing this trend. One of the most environmentally friendly ways to generate electricity is by conversion of sunlight using photovoltaic (PV) and solar thermal technologies. Using steel to build the support structures makes it even more sustainable as steel is a durable and 100% recyclable material. ArcelorMittal...

Magnelis® An innovative metallic coating which offers protection in the harshest environments ArcelorMittal offers a full range of metallic coatings to protect steel solar structures against corrosion. In addition to pure zinc and aluminium-zinc coatings, ArcelorMittal has developed a high-performance metallic coating known as Magnelis®. Magnelis® is a unique alloy of zinc, aluminium and magnesium which provides excellent corrosion protection, even in soil. One of the most remarkable properties of Magnelis® is its ability to self-heal on cut edges, where corrosion typically begins....
