Our Goals
Our strategic goals underscore our commitment to transforming the industrial landscape and promoting sustainable practices.
Create a sector-coupling circular hub
Establish a pioneering sector-coupling circular hub centered around the ArcelorMittal Ghent site.
20% reduction targets
Target a 20% reduction in energy, water, and raw material consumption, coupled with a significant decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.
Integrated software tools
Implement integrated software tools within the HURRICANE project to facilitate the optimization and replication of the circular hub model.
Efficient resource management
Execute efficient resource management strategies by recovering and utilizing industrial waste heat and water from steel mill processes.
Community and industry benefits
Extend the benefits of the circular hub beyond its industrial components to other sectors and local citizens through the implementation of a heat grid.
Alignment with EU initiatives
Align with the objectives of the EU Green Deal, contributing to increased public awareness and participating in initiatives aimed at advancing sustainability within the European industrial landscape.
