ArcelorMittal is the world's top steelmaker

ArcelorMittal, the world's top steelmaker, and Swedish utility Vattenfall have teamed up with Shell, Airbus and other heavyweights to cut emissions in industrial processes by using hydrogen, two executives said.

One focus of the 12-member consortium, which also includes Japan's Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, will be the production of carbon-neutral steel in the port city of Hamburg, the executives said.
