Horizon: Optimised Energy Control<\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The industry as a whole consumes a significant amount of energy and unfortunately, steel production processes are no exception. However, thanks to the electricity sector, we are already making headway towards reducing our energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions<\/strong>. Electricity is actually a much less polluting form of energy than those traditionally used in the industry since fossil fuels have been significantly reduced in the electricity generation mix, especially in Belgium. We are fully aware, however, that this is not enough for the environment and people’s health.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row content_placement=”middle” bg_type=”bg_color” css=”.vc_custom_1588261450431{margin-bottom: 30px !important;}” el_class=”custom-animate”][vc_column css_animation=”none” width=”1\/2″ css=”.vc_custom_1588261267530{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-right: 15% !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;padding-left: 15% !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1593092904299{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”]This is why, as a member of the Groupement de la Sid\u00e9rurgie<\/em> Group, Thy-Marcinelle adheres to the Branch Agreements<\/strong> made between the Walloon Region and the various industry sectors. We are bound, by these agreements, to implement a robust energy policy with a view to improving our energy efficiency and reducing our CO2<\/sub> emissions. We work daily to instil a truly sustainable, eco-friendly vision at Thy-Marcinelle <\/strong>via a management system that is intended to assist in the energy transition within our company.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”1630″ img_size=”800×800″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”fadeInUp”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row_content_no_spaces” equal_height=”yes” bg_type=”bg_color” bg_override=”ex-full” css=”.vc_custom_1589962940126{margin-top: 150px !important;margin-bottom: 100px !important;}” el_class=”custom-overflow” bg_color_value=”#363636″][vc_column css_animation=”fadeIn” width=”3\/5″ css=”.vc_custom_1593373726225{padding-top: 300px !important;padding-right: 50px !important;padding-left: 50px !important;background-image: url(https:\/\/www.thy-marcinelle.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/Thy_Marcinelle_01.jpg?id=1699) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}” el_class=”custom-col-l”][\/vc_column][vc_column css_animation=”fadeInUp” width=”2\/5″ css=”.vc_custom_1586528264516{padding-top: 15% !important;padding-right: 15% !important;padding-bottom: 15% !important;padding-left: 15% !important;}”][vc_column_text css=”.vc_custom_1593092911589{margin-bottom: 30px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;padding-bottom: 30px !important;border-bottom-color: rgba(255,255,255,0.15) !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}” el_class=”custom-white”]<\/p>\n
