Port-Cartier, May 11, 2022 – At a press conference today, ArcelorMittal Mining Canada (“ArcelorMittal”) and BioÉnergie AE Côte-Nord Canada (“BioÉnergie”), a corporation held in part by Groupe Rémabec/Arbec Forest Products Inc. announced the signing of a three-year agreement for the delivery of 16 million litres of pyrolytic oil per year to the ArcelorMittal pellet plant.

“Today’s announcement marks the materialization of the start of our energy transition. The pyrolytic oil produced locally by BioÉnergie will allow us ultimately to reduce our use of heavy oil by 23% at our Port-Cartier plant. This is a structuring project that unites the two major resources of the Côte-Nord region: iron and the forest. This is tremendous news for the entire region and we are delighted,” declared Mapi Mobwano, President and Chief Executive Officer of ArcelorMittal Mining Canada.

The introduction of pyrolytic oil, a renewable fuel produced from wood residues, will allow an annual reduction of 57,600 tonnes of CO₂ equivalent at the Port-Cartier pellet plant, which corresponds to removing 14,000 vehicles from the roads each year. Let us recall that the ArcelorMittal Group has made the commitment to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions 25% by 2030 and reach carbon neutrality by 2050.

“We are proud of this partnership with ArcelorMittal that allows us to create 30 quality jobs in the Côte-Nord region, at BioÉnergie alone. Our group constantly looks for new ways to valorize forest fibre and sawmill by-products sustainably. With ArcelorMittal, we wish to stand out by local production of a renewable energy source that contributes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The entire community wins,” explained Réjean Paré, President and Chief Operating Officer of Groupe Rémabec.

To produce its pyrolytic oil, BioÉnergie will use the wood residues of Arbec Lumber, another affiliate of Groupe Rémabec. The agreement announced today also includes the use of ArcelorMittal’s railway by Arbec, based on 80 trains per year to transport wood from its forest camps to its Port-Cartier sawmill.

À propos de ArcelorMittal Infrastructure Canada s.e.n.c.
et de ArcelorMittal Exploitation minière Canada s.e.n.c.

Filiales de ArcelorMittal, chef de file de l’acier dans le monde et l’un des cinq plus grands producteurs de minerai de fer à l’échelle internationale, ArcelorMittal Infrastructure Canada s.e.n.c. (« AMIC ») et ArcelorMittal Exploitation minière Canada s.e.n.c. (« AMEM ») sont deux entités complémentaires œuvrant sur la Côte-Nord du Québec. AMIC assure le transport de concentré entre Mont-Wright et Port-Cartier et exploite un port de mer à Port-Cartier permettant de transporter et d’expédier les produits d’AMEM sur quatre continents. AMEM produit du concentré et des boulettes d’oxyde de fer destinés au marché de l’acier. Les deux entreprises emploient plus de 2 500 personnes, faisant de ArcelorMittal le plus grand employeur de la Côte-Nord.

At an event held at COP26 today, ArcelorMittal (‘the Company’) and the government of Quebec announced a CAD$205 million investment by ArcelorMittal Mining Canada (‘AMMC’) in its Port-Cartier pellet plant, enabling this facility to convert its entire 110 million tonne annual pellet production to direct reduced iron (‘DRI’) pellets by the end of 2025.

The investment, in which the Quebec government will contribute through an electricity rebate of up to CAD$80 million, will enable the Port-Cartier plant to become one of the world’s largest producers of DRI pellets, the raw material feedstock for ironmaking in a DRI furnace. The project includes the implementation of a flotation system that will enable a significant reduction of silica in the iron ore pellets, facilitating the production of a very high-quality pellet.

The project will deliver a direct annual CO2e reduction of approximately 200,000 tonnes at AMMC’s Port-Cartier pellet plant, equivalent to over 20% of the pellet plant’s total annual CO2e emissions. This reduction in CO2e emissions will be achieved through a reduction in the energy required during the pelletising process.

A DRI plant uses natural gas to reduce iron ore, resulting in a significant reduction in CO2 emissions compared with coal-based blast furnace ironmaking. In Hamburg, Germany, ArcelorMittal is trialing replacing natural gas with hydrogen to make DRI, with its industrial scale pilot project anticipated to be commissioned before the end of 2025. The DRI installations the Company has announced it is developing in Belgium, Canada and Spain are all being constructed to be hydrogen-ready, so as and when green hydrogen is available in sufficient quantities at affordable prices the Company can produce DRI with near zero-carbon emissions.

Approximately 250 jobs are expected to be created during the construction phase of the project in Port-Cartier, which is scheduled to be begin mid-2023 and complete before the end of 2025.

Expressing the Quebec government’s support for the project, Premier François Legault said:
“With this project, the Port-Cartier plant will become one of the world’s largest producers of direct reduction pellets. The market is increasingly evolving towards this technology. We are therefore ensuring that ArcelorMittal will continue to create wealth in Quebec for many years. We are positioning our regions at the heart of the green economy of tomorrow. My message to companies looking for a place to reduce their GHG emissions is come and see us. We’ll help you carry out your projects promptly. Quebec is the best place in the world to invest in the green economy. To build together a greener, more prosperous and prouder Quebec.’’

Aditya Mittal, ArcelorMittal CEO, said:

“This project has an important role to play in our efforts to reduce our group’s CO2e emissions intensity by 25% by 2030, and our longer-term ambition to reach net zero by 2050. Not only does it deliver a significant reduction in our emissions at AMMC, but it also expands our ability to produce high-quality direct reduced iron pellets, which we will need in significant volumes as we transition to DRI-EAF steelmaking at our steel plants in Canada and Europe.

“I am grateful to Premier Legault and his government for the support it is providing in realising this project. It is the first significant decarbonisation project we have announced for our mining business and fitting that we are able to make this announcement at COP26 as it exemplifies the transformational change we need to deliver this decade as we move towards becoming a carbon-neutral business.”

Mapi Mobwano, CEO, ArcelorMittal Mining Canada, added:

“This investment will see us become one of the biggest direct reduction pellet producers in the world, thereby propelling ArcelorMittal Mining Canada into the forefront of mining and steel decarbonisation. From 2025 onwards we will have the capacity to produce ten million tonnes of very high-quality iron oxide pellets, with low silica content and high iron density, which will be highly strategic in the years ahead. This transformation will enable us to reduce our own current emissions by 200,000 tonnes of CO2e per year – equivalent to removing 57,600 cars from the road each year. Moreover, it will support a significant reduction in the carbon footprint of primary steelmaking. These pellets are the feedstock for DRI-EAF steelmaking, which given its significantly lower carbon footprint is expected to replace a significant amount of blast furnace capacity in the coming decades. It also provides a boost to the local economy and community as 250 jobs will be created for the construction phase which will start in the summer of 2023.”

ArcelorMittal Infrastructure Canada (« ArcelorMittal ») est fière de souligner le 60e anniversaire de la toute première expédition de minerai de fer au départ du port de mer de Port-Cartier.

Port-Cartier, July 7, 2021 – ArcelorMittal Infrastructure Canada (“ArcelorMittal”) is proud to mark the 60th anniversary of the very first iron ore shipment from the seaport of Port-Cartier. In July 1961, the first vessel left Port-Cartier with the inaugural cargo. The construction of what would become the largest private port in Canada had been completed two months earlier.

Excavated from the bedrock and built by human hands over more than two years, the port of Port-Cartier represented a true feat of engineering in that period. Now active 365 days a year, the ArcelorMittal port at Port-Cartier ships over 26 million tonnes a year of iron ore, raw materials, fuel and grain to the international markets. An average of 450 vessels access the port each year, involving more than 900 arrival and departure manoeuvres.

“Our port is recognized internationally and has been part of our heritage for 60 years. Several generations have worked there with constant commitment to improvement. We are proud to welcome a dynamic, competent and motivated succession to continue this work. This anniversary reminds us how much we can be proud of the progress made and the promising future that lies ahead of us,” declared Mapi Mobwano, Chair of the ArcelorMittal Infrastructure Canada Management Committee.

“Operating a port on this scale brings its share of challenges, complex logistics and meteorological factors that solicit our teams’ specialized expertise. Since 1961, over 1.1 billion tonnes have been shipped. In December 2020, we reached a historic record with 2,822,734 tonnes shipped during this month, beating the record of 2,669,732 tonnes set in December 2018. We are proud to work here, and I thank our teams of passionate experts who ensure its efficient operation in total safety every day,” added Michael LaBrie, General Manager, Infrastructure.

Handling begins at the dumper with the arrival of each train of iron ore concentrate from the Mont-Wright (Fermont) mining complex. Two railcars are unloaded at a time and an average of 245,000 railcars are unloaded each year. The concentrate is then routed either to the pellet plant to fabricate iron ore pellets, or to load the vessels for shipping to four continents. The ArcelorMittal Infrastructure Canada team, which ensures the operation of the port and the railway, is comprised of over 600 skilled workers.
