Eramet Launches eraLow for Low CO2 Manganese Alloys

France-based Eramet has launched eraLow, a new brand for low CO2 manganese alloys, aimed at helping the steel industry decarbonize. eraLow products have a CO2 footprint below 1.9t CO2/t of alloy, significantly lower than the industry average of 3.9t CO2/t. This achievement is due to the use of carbon-free electricity in Norway and France and advanced production processes. Eramet is also constructing a pilot plant in Norway to explore CO2 capture and storage technologies and is testing bio-reductants as a partial replacement for coke.
