Dublin, May 01, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The"South Korea Cement Industry Market Size & Forecast by Value and Volume Across 100+ Market Segments by Cement Products, Distribution Channel, Market Share, Import - Export, End Markets - Databook Q1 2026 Update"report has been added toResearchAndMarkets.com'soffering.The cement market in South Korea is expected to grow by 6.6% on annual basis to reach KRW 5,601,365.2 billion in 2026. The cement market in the country recorded strong growth during 2021-2025, achieving a CAGR of 5.2%. Growth momentum is expected to remain positive, with the market projected to expand at a CAGR of 6.8% during 2026-2030. By the end of 2030, the cement market is projected to expand from its 2025 value of KRW 5,253,472.0 billion to approximately KRW 7,283,201.7 billion. Recast cement as a "utilisation-calibrated" industry rather than a cyclical rebound story: Over the past twelve months, commentary from the Korea Cement Association and disclosures by major producers such as Ssangyong C&E and Hanil Cement have emphasised production alignment and cost discipline instead of new kiln additions. Public communications reflect maintenance planning, efficiency upgrades, and dispatch calibration as the central operating priorities. The sector narrative has shifted toward preserving utilisation balance under moderated construction activity. Anchor demand stability in infrastructure maintenance and regional development programs: Recent policy communications from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport highlight continued rail upgrades, the expansion of logistics corridors, and the rehabilitation of public facilities. In parallel, construction updates indicate a more cautious private housing cycle. Infrastructure execution, therefore, functions as the structural base of cement demand, while residential activity adjusts more gradually. Integrate emissions governance into core plant strategy: The Ministry of Environment has strengthened oversight of industrial emissions and carbon-accountability frameworks over the last year. Producers have reflected this direction in sustainability updates, alternative fuel expansion, and blended cement positioning. Environmental compliance is now embedded in daily operational decision-making rather than treated as a parallel initiative.

DNV has been selected as the independent certifier for Northern Endurance Partnership (NEP), the UK’s first offshore carbon capture and storage (CCS) project, and will verify that the project’s construction and operation comply with the carbon dioxide transport and storage licence (CO2 T&S license) granted by the UK’s Secretary of State for Energy Security and Net Zero. Developed some 75 kilometers east of Flamborough Head, theNorthern Endurance Partnership (NEP) projectwill comprise an onshore CO2 gathering network, compression facilities and a 145-kilometer offshore pipeline connected to subsea injection facilities in the Endurance saline aquifer located around 1,000 meters below the North Sea seabed. The independent certifier function is a new regulatory requirement for the UK’s CCS sector, providing objective, evidence‑based assurance that nationally significant CO2 transport and storage infrastructure meets its license obligations before entering operation, DNV said. Selected by NEP, the joint venture partnership between BP, Equinor and TotalEnergies, with approval from Ofgem, DNV’s scope covers the full transport chain, from receipt of CO2 at the compression facility, through conditioning to dense phase, to the offshore pipeline and injection system. The certification process will establish the documented evidence required to demonstrate compliance and support a safe transition from construction to operation, the company said. “Independent certification provides regulators and project partners with confidence that complex CO2 transport infrastructure has been delivered in accordance with its licence requirements,” saidHari Vamadevan, Senior Vice President and Regional Director for the UK & Ireland, Energy Systems at DNV. “For NEP, this means verifying design integrity, construction quality and commissioning readiness, so that when CO2 first flows, the system performs as intended. Our role is to provide objective, evidence-based assurance grounded in decades of North Sea verification experience and technical expertise in CO2 pipeline integrity and risk management.” DNVwas also appointed in August 2025under three-year contracts to deliver site inspection, quality assurance and quality control services for NEP and theNet Zero Teesside Power (NZT Power)project, covering the inspection of equipment and materials. The NEP infrastructure will initially serve the Teesside-based East Coast Cluster (ECC) carbon capture projects – NZT Power, H2Teesside and Teesside Hydrogen CO2 Capture – that were selected for first connection to NEP by DESNZ in March 2023 as part of the UK’s cluster sequencing process for carbon capture usage and storage (CCUS). Storage at the site is expected to start in 2028, making it the first operational CCS project in the UK. The initial phase is expected to see up to 100 million tons of CO2 stored in the Endurance aquifer over a 25-year period. Take the spotlight and anchor your brand in the heart of the offshore world!

ByCHRISTIAN CALGIE, SENIOR POLITICAL CORRESPONDENT-AT-LARGE Published:23:18 BST, 30 April 2026|Updated:23:19 BST, 30 April 2026 Dozens ofLabourMPs are now calling onKeir Starmerto sack 'bat-s**t crazy' Ed Miliband at the rumoured forthcoming Cabinet reshuffle. Anger at the Energy Secretary's refusal to allow licences for new oil drilling in the North Sea has surged among MPs in recent weeks in the wake of soaring energy bills following theIranwar. One leading rebel claimed that dozens now believe that the Prime Minister should ditch the top Cabinet minister to prove to voters that the government is willing to prioritise thecost of livingcrisis instead of 'obsessing' over ideological campaigns. According to a furious senior MP, the swelling clarion call now includes ministers, who are saying 'we can't do what we need to do if Ed keeps carrying on like this'. 'Keir knows. The question is whether he's strong enough to move him, or at least get him to tone down his approach.' Another blasted: 'Colleagues can't stand him. They think he's bat-s**t crazy.' A third explained that they are on a mission to prove to Sir Keir that the Parliamentary Labour Party 'is not the Miliverse', after Sir Keir reportedly bottled moving Mr Miliband out of the Net Zero department at the last reshuffle. At the time No. 10 caved after becoming convinced that the former Labour leader was too popular to sack from the brief. Ed Miliband is facing calls from dozens of his Labour MP colleagues to get the chop Mr Miliband has refused to U-turn over the government's ban on new North Sea Oil drilling, despite the surge in energy costs following the Iran war The MP added: 'He does not have the soft left sewn up… Miliband thinks he can walk a leadership election and get the 80 MPs required. 'But opposition is from across the spectrum – from left to centre – and Scottish Labour MPs particularly.' Mr Miliband's tenure as Net Zero secretary has brought devastation to Scotland's oil and drilling sector, with official figures this week revealing that around 4,000 jobs have gone since Labourcame to power. The Labour governmentbanned new licences for new oil and gas drilling in the North Sea after winning power. Critics say that even though oil and gas prices are decided on the global market, allowing domestic production could rake in billions in tax revenue for the Treasury, which could then be used to subsidise voters' bills. But Ed Miliband hasinsisted that the solution to volatile energy bills is 'home-grown, clean power' from renewable sources. Despite his insistence that allowing new drilling would be wrong, there remains speculation that he may give the go-ahead to new drilling, with the government failing to rule it out. The anger among MPs is a blow to Mr Miliband, who has been campaigning behind the scenes to replace Rachel Reeves as Chancellor in the next reshuffle, expected after Labour's local elections drubbing next Thursday. Reshuffle rumours resumed this week, with reports that Sir Keir's top team are split down the middle about whether to hold one immediately after the local elections. Ms Reeves' job remains on the line, as do those of the Business Secretary Peter Kyle and Technology Secretary Liz Kendall. A Red Wall MP added that Sir Keir must remove Mr Miliband as part of a 'bold' reshuffle to reassert his authority next week. They argued: ''My constituents don't have a problem with wind farms and solar if it means jobs and more secure energy. But they don't understand why we're shutting down the North Sea when we need it - Miliband makes us look like obsessives. 'The PM tried to move him at the last reshuffle. Some people say he's too weak to do it now but I wouldn't rule it out. We need to be bolder and we need to show we are in touch with ordinary people's concerns, not obsessing about causes. Sacking Miliband would be a good start.' Reports this week suggested that Sir Keir has now told allies that he does not want to do a reshuffle due to fears it will be yet another 'distraction' from the work of government. But his political director Amy Richards, and Chief Whip Darren Jones, are both said to be pushing for a reset of his Cabinet in order to bring in key figures on the soft left of the party to shore up his position. A Downing Street spokesman said: 'We don't comment on reshuffle speculation and the PM has full confidence in all his ministers.' A Labour source added: 'We're proud to be delivering our manifesto of a fair and balanced transition in the North Sea.'

Sinolam International, a Singapore-based investment company focused on oil, gas, and power investments in emerging markets in Asia and Latin America, has disclosed the return of its multibillion-dollar lawsuit against AES Corporation to the Virginia state court. This legal challenge, which revolves around Panama’s liquefied natural gas (LNG)-to-power market, is connected with the cancellation of a license for a major gas-fired power generation project. According to Sinolam, a U.S. Federal District Court in Virginia remanded itslawsuitagainst AES Corporation, originally filed on December 19, 2025, in the Circuit Court for Arlington County, back to the Virginia state court on April 24th, granting the firm’s request over the other player’s objections. The Panamanian company claims to have successfully sought to argue the case in Virginia, where corporate entities are held highly accountable for ethical lapses. Sinolam is seeking more than $4 billion in the U.S. case. Sinolam LNG TerminalandSinolam Smarter Energy LNG Power Co., which are energy infrastructure developers focused on LNG-to-power solutions in emerging markets,welcomedthe $33.4 billion AES acquisition by the BlackRock-led consortium, as it could strengthen financing in the context of any future resolution of the litigation. This content is available after accepting the cookies. $33.4 billion acquisition of AES filling financial coffers for Panamanian firms’ $4B lawsuit As a result, the case will now move forward in Arlington County, where Sinolam highlights that key decisions were mostly orchestrated by AES management from the company’s global headquarters there. The Panamanian player alleges AES, along with partner InterEnergy Holdings, worked to exclude it from participating in Panama’s LNG-to-power market, pointing to alleged misuse of confidential information, interference with contracts, and intimidation tactics. The company emphasizes that it had already secured permits and commercial agreements for an LNG terminal and power project, but those plans could not progress due to“the unlawful actions of AES and InterEnergy, acting by themselves and through their joint venture, Group Energy.” Kenneth Zhang, Sinolam’s CEO, commented:“We are pleased with the decision to return this matter to Virginia state court and appreciate the clarity it brings to the path forward. Sinolam remains confident in the strength of our claims and is committed to pursuing them vigorously in the appropriate forum.” Take the spotlight and anchor your brand in the heart of the offshore world!

Malaysia’s state-owned oil and gas heavyweight Petronas has shaken hands with Eneos Explora, a subsidiary of Japan’s Eneos Group, on a deal that will enable the latter to rejoin a liquefied natural gas (LNG) project that receives gas from offshore fields in Malaysian waters. The two companies have reaffirmed their long-standing partnership, first established in 1995, through the signing of definitive agreements formalizing Eneos’ re-entry intoMalaysia LNG Tiga (MLNG Tiga), a joint venture involving Petronas and other partners, to liquefy natural gas produced from fields, including theSK-10 Blockoperated by Eneos Xplora, located off the coast of Sarawak, Malaysia. Subject to the fulfillment of certain closing conditions, Eneos will hold a 10% equity stake in MLNG Tiga for the next decade, following the expiry of the previous joint venture agreement in 2023. The new deals were signed byDatuk Adif Zulkifli, Petronas’ Executive Vice President & Chief Executive Officer of Gas & Maritime Business, andYasuhiko Oshida, Eneos Xplora’s Representative Director and President. Oshida emphasized:“MLNG Tiga has been a project that has steadily supplied LNG to Japanese buyers since commencing operations in 2003, under the cooperation between our group and Petronas, and we are very pleased to be participating once again. “While further strengthening our partnership with Petronas, we will also work closely with our fellow shareholders – the Sarawak State Government and Mitsubishi Corporation, to pursue new value creation during the energy transition.” This content is available after accepting the cookies. Petronas hand-picks FPSO for Asian hydrocarbon redevelopment project The signing ceremony was witnessed byMarina Md Taib, Petronas’ Senior Vice President of Corporate Strategy, andJotaro Tomoeda, Executive Officer and Senior Vice President and Head of Business Division 1 at Eneos Xplora. The agreement is said to reflect the companies’ shared commitment to strengthening long-term energy security and supporting reliable LNG supply to international markets, particularly Japan, amid an increasingly complex and volatile global energy landscape. Tan Sri Tengku Muhammad Taufik, Petronas’ President and Group Chief Executive Officer, commented:“LNG continues to play an indispensable role in the global energy mix, bridging the demands of today’s economies while supporting a credible transition toward lower-carbon futures. “With Asia at the centre of global LNG demand growth, stable supply and long-term partnerships remain fundamental to economic resilience across the region. The collaboration with Eneos which now spans three decades reflects that long-term conviction, one that continues to serve the energy interests of both nations well into the decades ahead.” This content is available after accepting the cookies. Malaysia ups its energy investment ante with new oil & gas bid round As of April 1, 2026, the Eneos Group has consolidated its natural gas and LNG supply chain by transferring Eneos Corporation’s natural gas liquefaction and domestic sales businesses to Eneos Xplora. Aside from the re-entry into MLNG Tiga, the firm continues to expand its presence in Malaysia through the SK-10 Block gas fields development and production project and its participation in the LNG liquefaction plant operated by Petronas LNG 9 Sdn. Bhd. (PL9SB). “Eneos’ re-entry into MLNG Tiga reflects shared confidence in the asset’s resilience and long-term role within Asia’s LNG landscape. It also reinforces Petronas’ focus on building a reliable LNG system that continues to deliver value to customers and partners, particularly in important markets such as Japan,”said Zulkifli. The new agreement is perceived to reinforce continued foreign investor confidence in Malaysia’s investment climate and long-term growth prospects.

Expand Energy, a U.S. independent natural gas producer formed from the merger of Chesapeake Energy and Southwestern Energy in 2024, has signed on the dotted line for a multi-year liquefied natural gas (LNG) offtake with Delfin FLNG 1 in relation tothe first floating LNG (FLNG) unit destined to be deployed at an American LNG project under developmentin Louisiana, United States. Expand Energy inked a 20-year sales and purchase agreement (SPA) with Delfin FLNG 1 for around 1.15 million tonnes per annum (mtpa) of LNG offtake on April 22, 2026, subject to a final investment decision (FID) being made for theDelfin LNGproject, which Delfin Midstream, a U.S.-based LNG export infrastructure development company, is developing in Louisiana. The SPA enables approximately 1.15 million tonnes of LNG per annum to be bought from Delfin FLNG 1 at a Henry Hub price with a targeted start date in 2031. As a result, the gas producer’spreviousSPAs, which were signed with Delfin and Gunvor Group in 2024, have been terminated. This was for the purchase of 0.5 million tonnes of LNG per year at a Henry Hub price with a contract targeted start date in 2028 to be then delivered to Gunvor on a free-on-board (FOB) basis with the sales price linked to the Japan Korea Marker (JKM) for a period of 20 years, representing 0.5 mtpa of Delfin’s up to 2 mtpa HOA with Gunvor. Delfin LNG is a brownfield deepwater port requiring minimal additional infrastructure investment to support up to three FLNG vessels producing up to 13.2 mtpa of LNG. The developer acquired the UTOS pipeline, the largest natural gas pipeline in the Gulf of America (U.S. Gulf of Mexico). The project has receiveda deepwater port licensefrom the Maritime Administration (MARAD) andapprovalfrom the Department of Energy for long-term LNG exports to countries that do not have a free trade agreement (FTA) with the United States. The latest LNG offtake agreement comes months after Delfinmade arrangementsto extend a letter of award (LOA) with South Korea’s Samsung Heavy Industries (SHI) for the project’s first FLNG unit, following another20-year dealfor 1 million tonnes per annum of LNG from the project.

At first glance, it seems the clean energy front isn’t going as well as we’d like. The Trump administration has used every tool in its power — and then some — to extinguish clean energy innovation and installations. Yet hope springs eternal, to the point that, in March, the US generated more of its electricity from renewable sources such as solar and wind than it did from natural gas (methane). It’s the first time clean energy has surpassed the planet-heating fossil fuel for a full month nationally, according to data from Ember. This important milestone follows a record 2025 for renewable energy. New energy sources this year continue to favor clean energy sources, too, with 93% of all electricity capacity added in 2026 set to come from solar, wind, and batteries — they are simply less expensive and faster to construct than gas and coal plants. What about fossil fuels? They are projected to account for only 7% of the new power portfolio at a time when they are recklessly overheating the Earth. Yes, Trump’s wrath-filled political environment works to fill the courts with stop orders, which halt otherwise speedy completion and increased energy affordability for everyday citizens. So the clean energy front is experiencing some delayed goal achievement. What would global carbon dioxide emissions have been like last year if Trump embraced a vision of clean energy and climate action? We can only guess, but we do know that emissions reached a record high last year, rising 0.4% from 2024 levels. Let’s trace some of the news and determine how much damage Trump has done to a promising, healthy, sustainable energy future for us all. And there is also good news on the clean energy front, which is so important — hope is the greatest resistance of all. Clean energy must play a central role in the energy mix, and technologies like solar, wind, and batteries are ready. They have evolved tremendously due to “better materials, smarter systems, and safer designs,” says Bill Frist writing inForbes. Today, they deliver more reliable and cost-effective energy than ever before, Frist reminds us. It’s clear: renewable energy brings in far more than it costs. Wind and solar account for less than 5% of the increase in electricity bills over the past decade. They help drive down wholesale energy prices, exerting a moderating effect on long-term costs. The real question is how to electrify our heating, mobility, and industry to move away from fossil fuels. Meaningful clean energy progress has taken place across red, blue, and purple states, and often innovations occurred across the political aisle. When cooperation works to scale “what’s already working, innovating where needed, and making sure clean energy solutions are fast, fair and grounded in local priorities,” Frist continues, results multiply and benefit everyday citizens and the companies that initiate the projects. This year, state lawmakers are working overtime to steer clean energy projects to “places that work best for nature and people—and to keep building an energy future that is reliable, durable, and affordable for all.” Investments in renewables in countries around the worldmeanmuch more than boastful policy: clean energy proactive countries are seeing before them how decarbonization results in energy security and economic stability. But we must be prudent in our enthusiasm. Let us not forget that US Energy Secretary Chris Wright, a former fracking executive, was accused in March of manipulating global markets. The brouhaha occurred after he posted on the social media platform X that the US Navy had “successfully escorted an oil tanker through the Strait of Hormuz to ensure oil remains flowing.” Was it enough that Wright deleted the post minutes later? Not according to the marketplace, as oil prices slid at their steepest pace in years. The Trump administration typically throws its members under the proverbial bus, and Wright’s blunder was no exception. The White House press secretary acknowledged publicly that Wright’s claim was false. The Energy Department backpedaled, too, suggesting an incorrect caption on the post led to misunderstandings. Was it only last October when a French court ruled oil and gas giant TotalEnergies had engaged in “misleading commercial practices” by overstating its climate pledges? Activists noted it was the first such ruling worldwide against a major oil company for climate misinformation. The case set a legal precedent for the kind of environmental claims corporations may now make in their own court cases. Greenwashing be gone! Think about the decision of world leaders in March to release 400 million barrels of oil from their strategic reserves in reaction to the surge in oil prices in response to the war in Iran. The ripple effects of the near total shipping standstill in the Strait of Hormuzhad been keenly feltin the region and around the world. Increasing energy, fuel, and fertilizer costs had intensified hunger in and beyond the Middle East. It was the largest coordinated release of stockpiled oil on record by the members of the International Energy Agency. Meanwhile, discontent mounts as fossil fuel prices rise exponentially and fossil fuel companies are raking in astronomical profits per minute. An analysis by the nonprofit Oxfam International found the six biggest fossil fuel companies — Chevron, Shell, BP, ConocoPhillips, Exxon, and TotalEnergies — are earning nearly $3,000 a second in 2026, around $37 million a day more than their earnings last year. Oxfam projected the six companies’ total profit for the year to be $94 billion. Did the announcement settle the oil market pricing structure? Nope. Attacks on ships in and around the Strait of Hormuz, which in peace times carries as much as one-fifth of the world’s oil supply, continued to roil the energy prediction market. Then again, the 400 million barrels of oil were little more than enough to meet about four days worth of global demand. Now the UAE has said it will leaveOPEC— the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). The organization’s cartel mission to exert market influence to control oil output and influence prices has left the UAE feeling flat and unempowered.CleanTechnica’sMichael Barnarddescribesthe move as “an early signal of what happens when a producer with low-cost barrels, spare capacity ambitions, and a long view of electrification decides that flexibility may be worth more than cartel discipline.” With the rules-based international order today under threat, distant conflicts now affect local economies and daily life. As the world continues to try to make sense of the energy-related ripple effects of the US/Israel war against Iran, more experts than ever are proclaiming that now is the time to decarbonize — not only as a way to decentralize energy but also to reduce the number of wars across the world in the future. A confluence of geopolitics, climate policy, and energy security is on the minds of many government leaders, indicating how global conflicts are accelerating the shift toward renewable energy.

After completing installation on the first vessel in January, Spanish automated wind-assisted propulsion system specialist bound4blue has installed four 24-meter eSAIL suction sails on the second of the planned five tankers owned by Danish Maersk Tankers. Maersk’s 29,445 gwt medium-range (MR) tanker Maersk Tahiti was fitted with the ‘plug and play’ eSAILs at Chengxi Shipyard in Jiangyin, China, which will help it to slash emissions, achieve double-digit fuel savings, and enable simpler regulatory compliance, bound4blue reported. In total, 20 units will be installed on five Maersk MR tankers, markingbound4blue’s largest ever single agreement. The first installation, on board the Maersk Trieste,was completed in January. “The agreement with Maersk Tankers reflects the wider scaling up of wind power adoption across the industry. Wind, and particularly suction sail technology, delivers massive advantage in both environmental and commercial contexts, and appreciation of this reality is blossoming,”said bound4blue CEO and Co-FounderJosé Miguel Bermúdez. “It marks an opportunity for us, of course, but more than that it demonstrates a chance for forward thinking owners to simplify an increasingly complex regulatory and operating environment with proven technology and a free – and freely available – power source.” The Spanish firm explains that the autonomous eSAILs work by drawing air across an aerodynamically optimized surface to generate lift up to seven times greater than conventional rigid sails of a comparable size. The system reduces engine load, delivering compelling fuel and CO₂ savings while improving Carbon Intensity Indicator (CII) ratings.

After days of talks in the first-ever gathering devoted to ditching thefossil fuelsthat are heating the planet, ministers, climate advocates and financial experts from more than 50 countries have agreed on a set of outcomes. Held in theColombian coastal city of Santa Marta, the conference laid the groundwork for continued cooperation between countries that want to move to a clean-energy future, and created momentum for more talks on an issue that is politically and economically sensitive. Maina Vakafua Talia, minister for home affairs, climate change and environment in the Pacific state of Tuvalu told delegates at the talks hosted by Colombia and the Netherlands, that they were "making history." "Multilateralism and international cooperation are not defined by a single process, but rather by recognizing the governance gaps. (...) even our greatest challenges can be overcome, and we can reach new horizons together," he said. The issue of how to swapcoal, oil and gas— which are driving global temperatures and causing extreme weather such as drought, storms and heatwaves — for more electrification and a fasterrollout of renewable energy, is complex. And there is no one-size-fits-all to making the shift. Countries exporting coal, oil and gas face different challenges to those importing fossil fuels. Colombia is a case in point. Its economy depends on coal exports, including to Germany and other parts of Europe. So if the nation wants to wind down the sector quickly, it will have to build create alternative sources of income and employment. Vulnerable groups would be among those most affected. Simply shuttering the industry altogether would also be difficult for legal reasons, with mining companies potentially suing the state for compensation over lost revenue. In short, moving away fromcoalis a structural transformation that requires money, planning and a strategy for managing social consequences. Germany's Coal Commission could offer one model for how to get there. Established in 2019, the body brought all relevant stakeholders to the table and quickly drew up a plan to transition away from coal in a way it deemed both economically viable and socially fair. Germany plans to phase out coal-fired power generation completely by 2038. Unlike the vast annual UN climate conferences which are not only attended by delegates from most countries in the world, but increasingly byfossil fuel lobbyists, the Santa Marta meeting was billed as a "coalition of the willing." The hosts issued their invitation after last year'sCOP30 climate summit in Brazilsaw the emergence of a broad alliance in favor of a road map to phase out fossil fuels. The proposalwas ultimately blocked by a number of countries. So those attending the talks in Santa Marta welcomed the chance to meet in a different forum. Former Irish President Mary Robinson, who is a prominent climate justice figure, said the talks felt more collaborative than the annual UN climate conferences. "COPs are more formal, negotiators have their lines and they will not cross them and it's so different here," she told reporters. France used the conference to present a detailed plan for how and when it intends to end its use of coal, oil and gas. It is planning to reduce the share of fossil fuels in final energy consumption to 40% by 2030 and 30% by 2035. Coal is to be phased out by 2027, oil by 2045 and fossil gas by 2050. The French road map brings together existing climate and energy targets but does not contain new commitments. NGOs have welcomed the plan but say it remains insufficient in light of theclimate crisis. Last year, 91% of the planet recorded warmer than average surface air temperatures. Hotter conditions have been linked to prolonged heatwaves, wildfires, crop failure and water scarcity. The talks in Santa Marta also made clear thatfinancing the energy transitionremains one of the central challenges, especially for developing countries facing high borrowing costs and limited access to capital. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser thatsupports HTML5 video Stientje van Veldhoven, the Dutch Minister for Climate and Green Growth, said affordable financing would be essential if the transition is to be implemented globally. The Netherlands has also called for the reduction in fossil fuel subsidies. Today, fossil fuels receive around $920 billion in subsidies worldwide. Colombia's left-wing president, Gustavo Petro, attended the talks and used the opportunity to challenge the global economic model underpinning fossil fuel consumption. He also linkedcurrent conflicts to energy dependence, saying that "the wars we are seeing are driven by desperate geopolitical strategies around fossil resources." Underlining the importance of the energy transition for Europe, EU climate chief Wopke Hoekstra said that "in around two months, Europe's fossil fuel import bill increased by over EUR 22 billion, without a single additional unit of energy." He said a road map to transition away from coal, oil and gas should build on the goals agreed at the UN climate conference to triple renewable energy capacity and double energy efficiency by 2030. It should also include an end to new extraction and exploration and the decarbonization of transport, aviation and shipping. Germany did not send a minister but was represented by Jochen Flasbarth, an experienced climate diplomat. TheGerman government remains dividedover its path towards fossil fuel independence. While the environment ministry wants to accelerate the expansion of renewable energy, economy minister Katherina Reiche is backingpolicies that would prolong the role of fossil fuels. Cristian Retamal, associate researcher at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya in Spain, said the spirit of the talks had been "quite constructive with a very positive mood," but that it is too soon to say how things will evolve. "The real impact of this emerging coalition and envisioned efforts remain to be seen in the coming months and couple of years." Delegates at what has also been called the TAFF conference say there will be no defining road map or treaty this year. Though some Global South countries would like to see something binding going forward. "We need a fossil fuel treaty that creates thenecessary architecture for a just transition,” said Cedric Dzelu, Ghana's technical director of the office of the minister for climate change and sustainability. "Past treaties and agreements too often fall short on policies and pledges, financing and equitable implementation." Juan Carlos Monterrey, special representative for climate change at Panama's environment ministry said it will be a process. "We must pave the way for a legal instrument that names what it phases out and how we finance it," he said. "The treaty will take time. We know this." Still, he struck a determined tone. "Economies built on fossil fuels are unraveling in real time. Fossil fuels are not just dirty. They are unreliable. They are dangerous. And they must end." The next meeting is due to take place next year inTuvalu. Scientists believe the small Pacific island state could disappear by 2100 as a result of rising sea levels.Edited by: Tamsin Walker To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser thatsupports HTML5 video

The European Commission said Thursday it is relaxing limits on state support measures to cushion "the most exposed" businesses from energy price spikes brought about by the war in the Middle East. The Middle East Crisis Temporary State Aid Framework (METSAF), adopted following a consultation with member states, allows various forms of government assistance for agriculture, fishery and transport companies until yearend. "For agriculture, fishery, land transport (road, rail and inland waterways) and intra-EU short sea shipping, Member States will be able to compensate up to 70 percent of a beneficiary's extra costs due to the price increase of fuel and fertilizer caused by the crisis", the Commission said in an online statement. "The price increase will be determined by each Member State by looking at the difference between the relevant market price and an applicable historical benchmark price. The total extra costs will then be calculated based on the beneficiary's current or latest pre-crisis consumption. "For these sectors, a simplified option will make it easier for beneficiaries to qualify for the aid. It allows Member States to calibrate individual aid amounts on elements like the size and type of beneficiaries' activities, a general estimate of fuel consumption in the sector, or other relevant proxies, rather than beneficiaries having to provide detailed proof of their actual consumption. Under this option, each beneficiary can receive up to EUR 50,000 [$58,400]. "For energy-intensive industries eligible under temporary electricity price relief schemes in line with section 4.5 of the CISAF [Clean Industrial Deal State Aid Framework], it will be possible to increase the aid intensity from 50 percent to up to 70 percent for the electricity cost of the eligible consumption. This can cover up to 50 percent of the total consumption of the beneficiary. "No additional increase in decarbonization efforts will be required. A cumulation with aid granted under the ETS State aid Guidelines will be possible for up to half of the aid amount granted under Section 4.5 CISAF schemes". Future plans to mitigate the impact of the Iran war on energy prices may include subsidizing the fuel cost of gas-fired generation, the Commission added. "While the transition towards a clean economy remains the long-term solution to shield EU companies from the effects of global energy shocks, the METSAF allows Member States to act immediately to make sure that the growth of the most exposed companies is not irreparably hampered by the current crisis", the Commission said. In a speech at the European Parliament's plenary debate Thursday on the energy situation, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmed the EU will launch its Electrification Action Plan by the summer. "In the current European budget, we have set aside almost EUR 300 billion for energy, EUR 95 billion are still available", von der Leyen said, according to an official transcript. "Let us use this to make the switch to electricity - not just in transport, but also in industry and heating. "This is not only a matter of affordability and competitiveness, but also of economic security. Thus, speaking of European independence, this is the moment to electrify Europe".

Fermo restando che «la misura economica più importante sarebbe ristabilire la pace e la normalità» in Medio Oriente, ha spiegato ieri la vicepresidente della Commissione europea con delega alla Transizione, Teresa Ribera (in foto), Bruxelles apre un ombrello di sicurezza per coprire i costi dell'energia: per l'agricoltura, la pesca, i trasporti terrestri - stradali, ferroviari e per vie navigabili interne - e il trasporto marittimo a corto raggio intra-Ue. Ecco a quali settori si potrà applicare il piano continentale per gli aiuti di Stato, mirati, che consentirà ai Paesi membri di sostenere l'economia Ue nel pieno della crisi. Ognuno dei Ventisette Paesi potrà coprire fino al 70% dei costi extra sborsati (dai beneficiari degli aiuti) per l'aumento dei prezzi di carburante e fertilizzanti provocato dalla chiusura di Hormuz. L'aumento dei prezzi, spiega il governo continentale, sarà determinato da ciascuno Stato membro. Come? Considerando la differenza tra il prezzo di mercato di riferimento e uno storico applicabile. I Paesi potranno calibrare gli importi degli aiuti in base a dimensioni e tipologia delle attività anziché richiedere ai beneficiari di fornire prove del consumo effettivo. Una via rapida, sulla carta. E a tempo. Il Quadro temporaneo per gli aiuti di Stato in Medio Oriente (Metsaf) sarà in vigore fino al 31 dicembre. E ciascun beneficiario può ricevere fino a 50 mila euro. Per le industrie ad alta intensità energetica sarà possibile potenziare gli aiuti fino al 70% del costo dell'elettricità; non sarà richiesto un ulteriore incremento degli sforzi di decarbonizzazione per accedere a questa misura. E sarà possibile cumulare gli aiuti concessi sugli ETS. Però con un alert, rivolto all'Italia, ieri, da Ribera: no all'aumento generalizzato del consumo di gas. Siamo lontani dalla flessibilità. E con una soluzione in campo che privilegia gli Stati che hanno capacità fiscale. La presidente della Commissione Ursula von der Leyen cita poi la Svezia come modello di mix energetico: «Lì quando il prezzo del gas aumenta di 1 euro per MWh, la bolletta elettrica aumenta solo di 0,04 euro per MWh, perché quasi tutta l'elettricità svedese proviene da fonti rinnovabili e nucleari, questa è la strada per un'Europa indipendente e al riparo da shock futuri». All'Europarlamento, Ursula insiste sull'elettrificazione del continente denunciando l'emorragia causata dalla guerra in Iran: «Stiamo perdendo quasi 500 milioni di euro al giorno». Dunque non una soluzione, il Metsaf. Ma la mossa più rapida ed efficace nell'immediato, spiegano gli sherpa, che consente agli Stati di tamponare; sebbene la transizione verso un'economia pulita resti la soluzione a lungo termine.

Bayer obtuvo la autorización de la Comisión Federal para la Protección contra Riesgos Sanitarios (Cofepris) para una nueva indicación terapéutica de su fármaco enfocado en el manejo del cáncer de próstata. La aprobación, sustentada en los resultados del estudio ARANOTE, permite personalizar tratamientos para pacientes en etapa metastásica sensible a hormonas. En México, este padecimiento representa un desafío crítico de salud pública con aproximadamente 30 mil nuevos casos diagnosticados cada año, posicionándose como la primera causa de muerte por cáncer en hombres, según datos de la Secretaría de Salud.Yusimit Ledesma,directora médica en Bayer México, señaló que este hito contribuye a la misión de brindar terapias efectivas que prolonguen la supervivencia y reduzcan el riesgo de progresión de la enfermedad. Con esta opción, se proyecta un avance significativo al permitir que más pacientes accedan a tratamientos sin quimioterapia, optimizando su calidad de vida y atención en etapas avanzadas de la condición. Mony de Swaan Addatiregresa al sector de las telecomunicaciones como presidente de la Asociación Mexicana de Operadores Móviles Virtuales (AMOMVAC), en relevo de Rocío Villanueva. El expresidente de la extinta Cofetel asume la representación de un segmento que ya ostenta el 32.3 por ciento del mercado móvil nacional, posicionándolo como la segunda fuerza del sector. Su agenda priorizará el peso regulatorio de los 23 operadores que integran la asociación ante temas como el registro de líneas impulsado por la Comisión Reguladora de Telecomunicaciones (CRT), la licitación de 5G y los pendientes de cobertura. “Lo primero que debemos hacer como AMOMVAC es enfocarnos en la parte regulatoria y en otros aspectos donde tenemos poco entendimiento para consolidar su expansión”, dijo el exregulador de las telecomunicaciones. Con este movimiento, la asociación busca jugar con mayor influencia política en un mercado donde la regulación y la tecnología definirán la próxima etapa de competencia en el país. “Tenemos interés en poner el foco en muchos temas, está todo el tema del registro, el tema de la licitación de 5G, el tema de cobertura y muchos otros temas que son importantes”, dijo. Hutchison Ports TIMSA, que dirigeJaime Andrés García López,destinó más de 300 millones de pesos a la incorporación de dos grúas eléctricas MHC ESP.10 en el Puerto de Manzanillo, con lo que eleva a ocho su flota operativa en terminal. Los equipos, con capacidad de hasta 100 toneladas y alcance de 22 filas, permiten atender buques de hasta 15 mil 500 TEUs, alineándose con la tendencia global de embarcaciones de mayor escala. La inversión impacta directamente en la productividad en muelle al reducir tiempos de maniobra y aumentar la rotación de carga en un puerto que movilizó más de 3.8 millones de TEUs y 31 millones de toneladas en 2025, según ASIPONA. Además del componente operativo, la apuesta incorpora eficiencia energética al tratarse de equipos eléctricos, en línea con la estrategia Net Zero del grupo, que contempla una reducción de 54.6 por ciento en emisiones hacia 2033. Corporativo Kosmos, encabezado porJack Landsmanas,impulsa mediante la Fundación Pablo Landsmanas una estrategia de asistencia social enfocada en la población infantil vulnerable. En alianza con organizaciones como Fundación Teletón, Dr. Sonrisas y Fundación DAR, el grupo ejecuta programas de combate a la desnutrición mediante la entrega de despensas y acompañamiento familiar. La iniciativa atiende un problema estructural documentado en su momento por el Coneval, que registra a más de 11 millones de niños menores de seis años en situación de pobreza en México. A la fecha, la fundación acumula la entrega de más de 40 millones de comidas y mantiene un esquema de apoyo recurrente para más de 5 mil beneficiarios mensuales con alimentación diaria. El modelo operativo de Kosmos prioriza la construcción de alianzas especializadas y la integración de voluntariado corporativo para escalar el alcance de sus proyectos de responsabilidad social en el país.

Presso lo storico molo Joubert di Saint-Nazaire – lo stesso in cui sono state costruite leggende del mare come il transatlantico Normandie – si è svolta la cerimonia di battesimo dell’Orient Express Corinthian, l’unità a vela più imponente mai realizzata fino ad oggi. Con una lunghezza fuori tutto di 220 metri, un dislocamento di 15.000 tonnellate e una stazza di 26.200 Ums, la nave – che rappresenta un’operazione di eccellenza del brand Orient Express, parte della collezione di lusso del Gruppo Accor, ed anche un laboratorio tecnologico per la propulsione eolica su scala industriale – è pronta a salpare il prossimo 2 maggio per la sua stagione inaugurale nel Mediterraneo. Dal punto di vista tecnico, il Corinthian si distingue per l’integrazione del sistema SolidSail, una soluzione proprietaria sviluppata da Chantiers de l’Atlantique dopo dieci anni di ricerca e sviluppo. L’armamento consiste in tre alberi in carbonio che superano i 100 metri di altezza, ciascuno dotato di vele rigide da 1.500 metri quadrati completamente automatizzate. La versatilità del sistema è garantita dalla capacità degli alberi di ruotare a 360 gradi per ottimizzare l’angolo di incidenza rispetto al vento, oltre alla possibilità di inclinarsi fino a 70 gradi, accorgimento ingegneristico questo che risulta fondamentale per permettere il passaggio del mega sailing yacht sotto i principali ponti del mondo. Le prove in mare condotte a febbraio 2026, informa il cantiere francese in una nota, hanno già validato l’efficienza della piattaforma: con una brezza di 20 nodi, la nave ha raggiunto una velocità di 12 nodi navigando esclusivamente a vela, raggiungendo un risultato che non ha precedenti per un’unità di questo tonnellaggio. L’architettura propulsiva non si affida esclusivamente al vento, ma adotta un approccio ibrido basato sull’impiego del gas naturale liquefatto e, con questa soluzione, concorre al raggiungimento del miglior indice Eedi (Energy Efficiency Design Index) della sua categoria. Sul fronte della sicurezza e dell’impatto ambientale, la nave presenta innovazioni tecnologiche che rispondono concretamente alle regole della decarbonizzazione del trasporto marittimo, che potranno essere d’esempio all’intera industria cantieristica. L’Orient Express Corinthian integra infatti sistemi di monitoraggio assistiti da intelligenza artificiale per il rilevamento di mammiferi marini e un impianto di posizionamento dinamico che permette di mantenere la stazione senza ricorrere all’ancoraggio, tutelando l’integrità dei fondali. L’ ospitalità a bordo, continua il cantiere, riflette il paradigma dello “slow travel” voluto da Accor, accogliendo appena 110 passeggeri in 54 suite panoramiche con superfici comprese tra i 45 e i 230 metri quadrati. Gli interni, curati dall’architetto Maxime d’Angeac, sono ispirati al movimento Art Déco e caratterizzati da marmi, legni pregiati e finiture artigianali tipiche del savoir-faire francese. Nonostante tutte le peculiarità di alto livello della nave, sottolinea la nota, l’aspetto operativo più rilevante per il mercato risiede nella flessibilità degli itinerari. La programmazione prevede infatti tratte da una a quattro notti combinabili tra loro, consentendo una personalizzazione rara nel segmento crocieristico di fascia alta. L’offerta di bordo è completata da cinque ristoranti sotto la direzione dello chef Yannick Alléno, una marina privata e una spa Guerlain, il tutto gestito secondo una formula all-inclusive ad alto valore aggiunto. Il progetto Corinthian si inserisce in una più ampia strategia di flotta del cantiere francese che vede già in fase di allestimento l’unità gemella, l’Orient Express Olympian. Quest’ultima, varata lo scorso 17 aprile presso il molo di Penhoët, debutterà nel 2027 e consoliderà la partnership strategica tra il gruppo Accor e Chantiers de l’Atlantique. Con questo binomio di velieri, conclude la nota, l’industria navale francese traccia una rotta percorribile verso un futuro in cui la tecnologia velica torna a essere protagonista del trasporto marittimo commerciale e turistico.

The multi-year safety transformation continues to deliver measurable improvements, with LTIFR improving to 0.45x in 1Q 2026 from 0.63x in 1Q 2025Delivering structurally improved margins:The Group's results continue to demonstrate resilience, with 1Q 2026 EBITDA per tonne of $131/t increasing by $15/t year-on-year, reflecting the benefits of the strategic investment program, continued asset optimization and diversified market exposures. Net income in 1Q 2026 was $0.6bn (basic EPS of $0.76/sh)Operational momentum:Record iron ore production and shipments in Liberia and a return to normalized operating levels in North AmericaSeasonal investment in working capital:A typical seasonal working capital investment of $1.5bn during the quarter led to a free cash outflow of $1.3bn and an increase in net debt to $9.3bn4. Liquidity7remains at a robust $9.9bn and the Company's positive FCF outlook for 2026 and beyond remains unchangedConsistent cash generation, supporting balanced capital allocation and continued growth investment:Over the past 12 months, the Company generated $2.0bn in investable cash flow6(net cash provided by operating activities less maintenance/normative capex). Over the same period, the Company invested $1.5bn in strategic capex to build incremental long-term EBITDA capacity, returned $0.7bn to shareholders, and allocated $0.2bn to M&ACapital return policy is creating significant value for shareholders:The Company paid its first quarterly interim dividend of $0.15 per share in March 2026, as part of a proposed annual dividend of $0.60 per share. The Company will continue to return a minimum of 50% of post-dividend free cash flow to shareholders through share buybacks. The fully diluted share count has been reduced by 38% since September 20205 Strategic focus: Well positioned to benefit from a balanced and fair European steel market:The Company believes that CBAM (which now imposes a carbon cost on imports), together with the recently agreed tariff rate quota (TRQ) trade tool (expected to be effective from July 1, 2026), structurally resets the outlook for the European steel industry. Lower imports will lead to higher capacity utilization, restoring profitability and returns on capital to healthy, sustainable levels. ArcelorMittal is well positioned to capture the volume upside through: improved utilization of its existing operating capacity; restart of idled blast furnaces (Fos (France) & Dabrowa (Poland) currently in preparation); and the commissioning of the new Gijon EAF and expanded EAF capacity at Sestao Strategic growth projects have good momentum and support higher EBITDA and ROCE:1Q 2026 capex of $1.3bn includes $0.2bn payment on signing new Mineral Development Agreement in Liberia11. 2026 capex guidance remains unchanged at $4.5bn-$5.0bn and includes $1.7-$2.0bn of strategic capex on high return projects. The potential incremental EBITDA impact of strategic capex projects (including completed M&A) is now $1.8bn6and includes the benefits of the recently approved electric arc furnace at Dunkirk and previously announced EAF investments at Sestao and Gijón Financial highlights (on the basis of IFRS1): Commenting, Aditya Mittal, ArcelorMittal Chief Executive Officer, said: “Performance in the first quarter was resilient despite the unsettled backdrop in the Middle East with profitability of $131/t EBITDA reflecting the benefits of our global diversified asset portfolio and the consistent application of our strategy. We also continued to improve our safety performance with the lowest quarterly LTIFR in the history of the Group, showing the tangible results of our sustained focus in this area. “The fundamentals of the business have improved over the past three months, driven in particular by the favourable structural reset in the European policy environment, including CBAM and the new tariff rate quota (TRQ) which is expected to significantly reduce imports into Europe from July 1. ArcelorMittal is well positioned to capture this upside through existing capacity and by re-starting idled capacity. In Europe, this will result in higher domestic capacity utilization and restore profitability and ROCE to healthy, sustainable levels. “This will be also an important year for the Company’s strategic growth projects, which reflect the depth of the Company’s opportunity set across diverse growth vectors. Our investments, which ultimately will add an incremental $1.8 billion EBITDA, include the expansion of AM/NS India’s plant in Hazira, the ramp-up of mining in Liberia, the ramp up of the new EAF at Calvert to full capacity, as well as various opportunities related to the energy transition. We are also pleased that we have been able to take final investment decision on the new EAF in Dunkirk, supported by various policy initiatives at the European and French levels. “We remain confident in ArcelorMittal’s prospects for the balance of the year, with the expected favourable impacts of new policy including a materially improved pricing and volume environment. Combined with the impact of our strategic investments, this supports ArcelorMittal’s free cash flow outlook and the delivery of consistent capital returns to shareholders.” Safety and sustainable development Health and safety: Protecting employee health and well-being is a core value of the Company. The Group’s multi‑year safety transformation continues to deliver measurable improvements, with LTIF rate improving to 0.45x in 1Q’26 (from 0.63x in 1Q’25). In 2026, the program entered its implementation and scale-up phase, with a strong focus on strengthening execution discipline and delivering consistent, high-quality safety performance across all regions through the safety roadmaps. Efforts have centered on reinforcing key enablers such as health and safety leadership capabilities, robust risk management, process safety management, and effective contractor integration. Together, these actions contribute to achieving our overarching ambition of zero fatalities and serious injuries through sustained improvement. For further details on the progress to date on our safety transformation program, see the 2025 Sustainability report available on the Company's website. Own personnel and contractors – Lost time injury frequency rate Sustainable development highlights: Analysis of results for 1Q 2026 versus 4Q 2025 Sales increased by 3.2% to $15.5 billion in 1Q 2026 as compared to $15.0 billion in 4Q 2025, primarily reflecting higher average steel prices. Operating income increased to $0.8 billion in 1Q 2026 as compared to $0.3 billion in 4Q 2025, which had included $194 million of exceptional charges3. Depreciation cost for 1Q 2026 was $749 million, lower than $856 million in 4Q 2025 which was impacted by certain assets reaching end of life. 12M 2026 depreciation guidance remains unchanged at approximately $3.0 billion. EBITDA increased by 5.4% to $1,679 million in 1Q 2026 as compared to $1,593 million in 4Q 2025, primarily driven by improved performance in the North America segment. Foreign exchange and other net financial charges amounted to $80 million in 1Q 2026, lower than $450 million in 4Q 2025, primarily reflecting lower foreign exchange charges. The prior period also included a non-recurring cost of $0.1 billion related to the extension of the mandatory convertible bond10. Net interest cost increased to $133 million in 1Q 2026 as compared to $91 million in 4Q 2025, primarily due to higher gross debt and lower interest income. Income tax expense of $136 million in 1Q 2026 compares with an income tax benefit of $201 million in 4Q 2025. 4Q 2025 was impacted by recognition of deferred tax assets following revised expectations of future profitability, primarily in Europe. Net income in 1Q 2026 increased to $575 million (EPS of $0.76/sh) compared with $177 million (EPS of $0.23/sh) in 4Q 2025. Adjusted net income of $654 million was higher in 4Q 2025 primarily on account of higher deferred tax benefits partially offset by higher foreign exchange and other net financial charges. Net cash used in operating activities in 1Q 2026 amounted to $9 million and includes a $1.5 billion seasonal investment in working capital. Capex totalled $1.3 billion for 1Q 2026 (including a $0.2 billion payment on signing new Mineral Development Agreement in Liberia)11. Net debt increased to $9.3 billion as at March 31, 2026, as compared to $7.9 billion on December 31, 2025. Analysis of operations North America Crude steel production increased by 18.3% to 2.1Mt in 1Q 2026, as compared with 1.8Mt in 4Q 2025, primarily driven by the successful restart of the Mexico Long products blast furnace following preventive maintenance. Sales increased by 8.3% in 1Q 2026 to $3.3 billion, as compared to $3.0 billion in 4Q 2025, primarily reflecting higher steel shipments (+5.2%) and higher average steel selling prices (+3.5%). Operating income improved to $206 million in 1Q 2026 as compared with an operating loss of $21 million in 4Q 2025. EBITDA in 1Q 2026 increased to $383 million as compared to $204 million in 4Q 2025, driven mainly by a positive price-cost effect and higher steel shipments. Brazil9 Sales in 1Q 2026 decreased by 3.2% to $2.8 billion as compared to $2.9 billion in 4Q 2025, driven by lower steel shipments (-8.8%), largely reflecting seasonality and timing of slab export volume, partially offset by higher average steel selling prices (reflecting a richer mix). Operating income was broadly stable at $223 million in 1Q 2026 as compared to $229 million in 4Q 2025. EBITDA in 1Q 2026 of $334 million was stable as compared to $341 million in 4Q 2025, primarily due to lower steel shipments, partially offset by a richer mix (lower slab exports). Europe Crude steel production totaled 6.8Mt in 1Q 2026, representing a 6.8% increase compared to 6.4Mt in 4Q 2025. Production in 1Q 2026 nevertheless remained impacted by ongoing maintenance ahead of planned restarts in 2Q 2026. Compared to 1Q 2025, crude steel production was also impacted by the sale of the company’s Bosnian operations. Sales increased by 10.6% to $7.4 billion in 1Q 2026 as compared to $6.7 billion in 4Q 2025, primarily reflecting higher steel shipments (+8.1%), with Flat products up 12.1% and Long products down 2.1% and higher average steel selling prices. Operating income in 1Q 2026 was $239 million as compared to $49 million in 4Q 2025, which primarily included $166 million of exceptional charges3. EBITDA in 1Q 2026 of $501 million compared to $518 million in 4Q 2025, with the benefits of higher steel shipments offset by a negative price cost effect including the impact of reduced free CO2 allocations. With CBAM in place, the additional CO2 cost is expected to be recovered via steel prices from 2Q 2026 onwards. Sustainable Solutions Sales in 1Q 2026 were broadly stable at $2.6 billion as compared to 4Q 2025. Operating income improved to $69 million in 1Q 2026 from an operating loss of $10 million in 4Q 2025, which included $28 million of exceptional charges related to restructuring costs and impairments of $17 million. EBITDA increased to $124 million in 1Q 2026 as compared to $106 million in 4Q 2025 with improved performance of the downstream businesses. Mining Note: Mining segment comprises iron ore operations of ArcelorMittal Mines Canada (AMMC) and ArcelorMittal Liberia. Sales in 1Q 2026 were broadly stable at $0.9 billion as compared to 4Q 2025. Iron ore production totalled 9.7Mt in 1Q 2026, 3.2% lower versus 10.1Mt in 4Q 2025, driven by seasonally lower volumes at ArcelorMittal Mines Canada (AMMC) offset by higher output in Liberia. Liberia delivered another record quarter for iron ore production and shipments. The continued concentrator capacity ramp‑up is expected to support higher sinter feed shipments with higher price realizations. Liberia shipment guidance remains unchanged at >18Mt in 2026. Operating income increased to $215 million in 1Q 2026 as compared to $198 million in 4Q 2025. EBITDA of $299 million in 1Q 2026 was 4.8% lower as compared to $314 million in 4Q 2025 primarily due to higher freight costs. India and JVs Income from associates, joint ventures and other investments declined to $177 million in 1Q 2026, as compared to $206 million in 4Q 2025, due to weaker Chinese investee performance partly offset by stronger AMNS India results. ArcelorMittal has investments in various joint ventures and associate entities globally. The Company considers AMNS India (60% equity interest) joint venture to be of particular strategic importance, warranting more detailed disclosures to improve the understanding of its operational performance and value to the Group. AMNS India Sales increased by 1.6% to $1.6 billion in 1Q 2026 as compared to 4Q 2025, driven by higher average steel selling prices offset in part by 12% decrease in steel shipment volumes due to planned maintenance. EBITDA increased by 17.9% to $195 million in 1Q 2026 as compared to $166 million in 4Q 2025, primarily due to a positive price-cost effect, partially offset by lower steel shipment volumes.

Forward-Looking Statements This document contains forward-looking information and statements about ArcelorMittal and its subsidiaries. These statements include financial projections and estimates and their underlying assumptions, statements regarding plans, objectives and expectations with respect to future operations, products and services, and statements regarding future performance. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “target”, "projected", "potential", "intend" or similar expressions. Although ArcelorMittal’s management believes that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, investors and holders of ArcelorMittal’s securities are cautioned that forward-looking information and statements are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and generally beyond the control of ArcelorMittal, that could cause actual results and developments to differ materially and adversely from those expressed in, or implied or projected by, the forward-looking information and statements. These risks and uncertainties include those discussed or identified in the filings with the Luxembourg Stock Market Authority for the Financial Markets (Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier) and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) made or to be made by ArcelorMittal, including ArcelorMittal’s latest Annual Report on Form 20-F on file with the SEC. ArcelorMittal undertakes no obligation to publicly update its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise. Non-GAAP/Alternative Performance Measures This press release also includes certain non-GAAP financial/alternative performance measures. ArcelorMittal presents EBITDA, EBITDA/tonne, free cash flow (FCF), adjusted net income and adjusted basic earnings per share which are non-GAAP financial/alternative performance measures, as additional measures to enhance the understanding of its operating performance. The definition of EBITDA includes income from share of associates, JVs and other investments (excluding impairments and exceptional items if any, of associates, JVs and other investments) because the Company believes this information provides investors with additional information to understand its results, given the increasing significance of its joint ventures. ArcelorMittal believes such indicators are relevant to provide management and investors with additional information. ArcelorMittal also presents net debt, liquidity and change in working capital as additional measures to enhance the understanding of its financial position, changes to its capital structure and its credit assessment. Investable cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less maintenance/normative capex, and the Company thus believes that it represents a cash flow that is available for allocation at management’s discretion. The Company’s guidance as to free cash flow and additional EBITDA estimated to be generated from certain projects is based on the same accounting policies as those applied in the Company’s financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. ArcelorMittal is unable to reconcile, without unreasonable effort, such guidance to the most directly comparable IFRS financial measure, due to the uncertainty and inherent difficulty of predicting the occurrence and the financial impact of items impacting comparability. For the same reasons, ArcelorMittal is unable to address the significance of the unavailable information. Non-GAAP financial/alternative performance measures should be read in conjunction with, and not as an alternative to, ArcelorMittal's financial information prepared in accordance with IFRS. Comparable IFRS measures and reconciliations of non-GAAP financial/alternative performance measures are presented herein. About ArcelorMittal ArcelorMittal is one of the world's leading steel and mining companies, with a presence in 60 countries and primary steelmaking facilities in 14 countries.

ANCONA - Le chiamano controdeduzioni, ma sono vere e proprie stilettate. All’indomani delle richieste di integrazioni del Ministero dell’Ambiente anticipate dal Corriere Adriatico, l’Autorità portuale risponde alle prime osservazioni che Regione e Comune di Ancona avevano depositato al Mase riguardo il banchinamento per grandi navi da crociera al molo Clementino. APPROFONDIMENTI IL DOCUMENTO Molo Clementino, il Ministero chiede altre integrazioni all’Authority: «No alla Penisola? Diteci perché» Le soluzioni A partire da un tema che lo stesso dicastero dell’Ambiente aveva chiesto di approfondire, ovvero la possibile esistenza di progetti alternativi al Molo che siano meno impattanti dal punto di vista ambientale e paesaggistico. Due gli orizzonti: la futuristica (e futuribile) Penisola e la più concreta banchina 26, già operativa ma destinata ai container. Nel primo caso, la replica dell’Authority è netta. Rispondendo alla Regione, i tecnici fanno presente che «si tratterebbe di una alternativa fittizia», subordinata all’approvazione del nuovo Piano regolatore portuale (ancora in corso) e ad un iter autorizzativo a parte, oltre che caratterizzata da «tempi sicuramente non compatibili con l’esigenza del porto di Ancona di disporre di un accosto adeguato alle navi di nuova generazione». Ribadiscono: senza molo Clementino, «non solo non sarà possibile dare impulso allo sviluppo del traffico crocieristico ma il porto dorico vedrebbe venir meno gli attuali traffici in seguito alla graduale dismissione delle navi di lunghezza inferiore ai 275 metri», il massimo oggi transitabile nel nostro scalo, con accosto alla banchina 15. Il realismo Il Comune, invece, aveva proposto di spostare l’accosto per grandi navi alla banchina 26, nella Darsena Marche, oggi destinata ai container. «L’ampliamento della destinazione funzionale - scrivono gli uffici dell’Authority - richiederebbe l’adozione di una variante al Piano regolatore e l’avvio di una nuova procedura ambientale, e non risulta pertanto percorribile e nemmeno ipotizzata nel nuovo Piano regolatore». Motivano anche: gli spazi sono quelli che sono, già oggi sono limitati perché gli accosti di portacontainer sono sempre più frequenti e dover destinare ampie porzioni di banchina ai servizi per i passeggeri delle navi da crociera sarebbe un problema. Gli operatori chiedono più spazio, non meno. E poi, la presenza di navi passeggeri richiederebbe la sospensione delle operazioni commerciali per motivi di sicurezza in varie fasi. Un grosso problema, insomma. La soluzione proposta da Palazzo del Popolo, infatti, «sarebbe possibile solo a discapito del traffico container, che si sposterebbe quindi presso altri porti, con conseguente perdita di occupazione locale». E ancora, i tecnici fanno notare che questo accosto, lontanissimo dalla città, «renderebbe impossibile per i passeggeri raggiungere il centro a piedi, aumentando il traffico veicolare e la propensione degli stessi a rimanere a bordo, con conseguente venir meno della fruizione della città». Tradotto: nessuno farebbe più shopping sul Corso. I temi, naturalmente, sono anche altri. Come il cold ironing, l’alimentazione elettrica delle navi in sosta così da permettere loro di spegnere i motori e abbattere l’inquinamento. I consumi Per l’Ap, il consumo di corrente sarebbe di circa 12,5 MW, che per 8 ore di accosto per 180 giorni all’anno vorrebbe dire un consumo di 12.600 MW/h all’anno, ovvero quello di poco meno di 4mila nuclei famigliari da 3 componenti ciascuno. Il cold ironing farebbe risparmiare 4.716 tonnellate di Co2 all’anno, ovvero l’inquinamento prodotto da circa 3mila auto in un anno. Il risparmio lordo sarebbe di oltre 7mila tonnellate, ma bisogna considerare anche i consumi per la produzione dell’elettricità. Sul fronte dell’inquinamento acustico, invece, «si esclude che la nave da crociera ormeggiata in banchina nella sua funzionalità operativa possa modificare il clima acustico rilevato nell’area». Anzi, eventuali sforamenti «dipendono esclusivamente dall’attuale traffico» sulla viabilità ordinaria. Le auto e i tir, insomma. Mica le navi.

Washington state startup Panthalassa is building self-propelled floating platforms that generate electricity from ocean waves and use it to power AI data centers at sea. The platform, dubbed Ocean-3, has devices that have no anchor, need no fuel, and have no cables connecting them to shore. Each platform rises and falls with the waves, forcing water through an internal turbine to generate electricity. The generated power then runs onboard computing hardware that processes AI tasks on the spot, with results sent back via satellite. "The ocean is really unlimited in terms of how much energy is available," said Garth Sheldon-Coulson, CEO and co-founder of Panthalassa. "It will really be the cheapest energy on the planet." The Ocean-3 works more like a floating hydroelectric dam. As waves lift the platform, water inside a tube is forced upward into a ballast tank. This water then flows into a spinning turbine, which generates electricity. The system is self-propelled, moving like a large Roomba rather than being tethered to the ocean floor. Sign up to the TechRadar Pro newsletter to get all the top news, opinion, features and guidance your business needs to succeed! Multiple units deployed together can function as a single floatingdata center, with no carbon emissions and no strain on local power grids. "When you deploy many of our systems, they work together basically as a data center," Sheldon-Coulson said. "So, we think of it as a really good alternative to data centers on land." Due to high electricity consumption, which drives up carbon emissions and household utility bills, the industry has been looking for an alternative to land-based AI data centers. There have been discussions aboutunderwater data centersas well asdata centers in space, but none of these seem to be short-term plans. As the demand for compute grows and traditional power grids collapse, Panthalassa offers an alternative that bypasses land acquisition and fossil fuel dependence. Construction of the Ocean-3 units is already underway, and Sheldon-Coulson expects them to be operating offshore by August of this year. The company eventually hopes to deploy thousands of these platforms far out at sea. Panthalassa has all of the private funding it needs because AI companies are eager for quicker, cleaner ways to get power than building data centers on land. "It is really exciting that we're working on something that is coming along right at the right time," Sheldon-Coulson said, "in a way that's much cleaner, much more sustainable, and quite scalable." Although the concept is elegant, there is one uncertainty: the ocean. It has a way of breaking things that work perfectly in testing. Saltwater corrosion, biofouling, and storm damage are not hypothetical problems for marine equipment; they are daily realities. The Ocean-3 platforms will need to survive hurricanes, salt spray, and years of continuous motion without mechanical failure. Satellite links also introduce latency that may not suit all AI workloads, and the cost of repairing a broken generator in the middle of the ocean will be huge. Panthalassa has proven that wave energy can power a floating platform, but proving it can do so reliably for years is a much harder challenge. Still, for an industry desperate for power and willing to try almost anything, the ocean offers something that no data center on land can match: unlimited space and a power source that never stops moving.

Sarà operativo fino a fine anno – precisamente fino al 31 dicembre 2026 – il nuovo quadro temporaneo per gli aiuti di Stato adottato oggi dalla Commissione Europea con lo scopo di sostenere i settori colpiti dalla crisi in Medio Oriente (Middle East Crisis Temporary State Aid Framework). Tra i settori trattati dal Metsaf, spiega la stessa Commissione, ci sono anche quelli dei trasporti stradali, ferroviari, per vie d’acqua interne e di short sea su tratte intraeuropee, al fianco di quelli di agricoltura e pesca, i quali potranno ricevere sostegni a coprire fino il 70% degli extracosti dovuti per il carburante e per i fertilizzanti. In generale, l’aumento di prezzo sarà determinato da ciascuno Stato membro esaminando la differenza tra il prezzo di mercato pertinente e un prezzo di riferimento storico applicabile. Per questi settori, un’opzione semplificata renderà più facile per i beneficiari essere ammissibili all’aiuto, consentendo agli Stati membri di calibrare gli importi dei singoli sostegni su elementi quali le dimensioni e il tipo di attività dei beneficiari, una stima generale del consumo di combustibile nel settore o altri parametri pertinenti, consentendo a ciascun beneficiario di ricevere un contributo fino a 50mila euro. Per quel che riguarda nello specifico i trasporti marittimi, il framework appena varato include i collegamenti short sea intraeuropei, spiegando che questi potranno beneficiare della misura dato che “un sostegno temporaneo potrebbe attenuare le conseguenze di aumenti eccezionalmente marcati del prezzo del combustibile causati dalla crisi”. Per essere ammissibili – chiarisce il documento – tali aiuti dovranno essere concessi in forma di “sovvenzioni dirette, agevolazioni fiscali e di pagamento o in altre forme, quali garanzie, prestiti e capitale proprio”, a condizione che il loro valore nominale totale non superi l’intensità di aiuto e i massimali di aiuto applicabili”. I valori utilizzati dovranno essere “al lordo di qualsiasi imposta o altri oneri” e potranno coprire “fino al 70 % dei costi supplementari per il combustibile causati dalla crisi in Medio Oriente”. Il periodo ammissibile, prosegue il testo, decorrerà “dal 1° marzo 2026 al 31 dicembre 2026 al più tardi”. Da rilevare che il documento chiarisce esplicitamente che gli aiuti “non coprono direttamente i costi dell’Ets, né usano i prezzi Ets come parametri per determinare la compensazione, mantenendo quindi gli obblighi e gli incentivi dell’Ets”. Tra le condizioni poste, c’è quella secondo cui i sostegni non possono essere concessi a imprese che si trovavano già in difficoltà, con l’eccezione delle piccole e microimprese che già lo erano prima del 28 febbraio 2026, e purché non soggette a procedure concorsuali per insolvenza e non abbiano ricevuto aiuti per il salvataggio o la ristrutturazione. “Conseguire un’economia pulita – ha chiosato Teresa Ribera, Vicepresidente esecutiva per una Transizione pulita, giusta e competitiva – è ciò che ci proteggerà dalle crisi energetiche del futuro. La transizione energetica rimane la strategia più efficace per l’autonomia, la crescita e la resilienza dell’Europa. Tuttavia le recenti impennate dei prezzi dell’energia richiedono una risposta immediata. Il quadro temporaneo introduce soluzioni facilmente applicabili che attenueranno gli effetti della crisi e sosterranno così il continuo sviluppo di settori fondamentali dell’Ue quali l’agricoltura, la pesca e i trasporti”.

EasyJetyRolls-Royceanunciaron este miércoles que han completado con éxito un importante hito en pruebas con hidrógeno como combustible de aviación, marcando un paso significativo en los esfuerzos por reducir las emisiones del sector. Por primera vez en la industria, las compañías han probado unmotor aeronáutico Rolls-Royce Pearl 15modificado, alcanzando la potencia máxima de despegue mientras funcionaba con hidrógeno al 100%, en elStennis Space Center de la NASA, cerca de Bay St. Louis (Misisipi). Este importante logro es el resultado de unprograma de cuatro añosentre Rolls-Royce,easyJety socios globales para explorar elhidrógeno como posible combustible de aviacióny generar conocimiento técnico para futuras aplicaciones de propulsión. EasyJet explicó que ha desempeñado un papel clave apoyando el desarrollo de latecnología deturbinas de gas de hidrógenocomo parte de sus ambiciones dedescarbonización a largo plazo. La ampliación de la colaboración de Rolls-Royce con Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) ha acelerado el progreso hacia sus objetivos tecnológicos, aportando capacidades adicionales en áreas clave de ingeniería. Durante esta fase del programa, los ingenieros demostraron que unmotor a reacción moderno, adaptable para aviones de pasillo único, puede funcionar de forma segura conhidrógeno gaseosoa lo largo de todo el ciclo de vuelo simulado, incluyendo el arranque, despegue, la fase de crucero y el aterrizaje. El programa de Rolls-Royce siguió un enfoque incremental basado en la tecnología para demostrar los fundamentos. Desde las primeras pruebas de motor en Boscombe Down (Reino Unido) en 2022,la tecnología se amplió y desarrolló mediante un programa en Reino Unido y Europade ensayos de componentes y sistemas, incluyendo la creación de unainstalación de pruebas de hidrógeno a escala real en el HSE, antes de su integración completa en un motor demostrador alimentado por hidrógeno. Las modificaciones iniciales también se centraron en adaptar el motor para sustituir el combustible convencional por hidrógeno, teniendo en cuenta tanto las emisiones de carbono como las no relacionadas con CO₂ mediante un amplio programa de combustión. David Morgan, director de operaciones en easyJet, afirma: "Este hito pionero en la industria es una prueba clara del progreso logrado en nuestra colaboración con Rolls-Royce, llevando el hidrógeno desde un concepto inicial hasta un motor completo y pruebas exitosas en tan solo unos años.Demostrar el funcionamiento con hidrógeno al 100% a gran escalaes un logro muy significativo y supone un paso importante hacia la ambición de easyJet de alcanzar lascero emisiones netas, apoyando la transición a largo plazo hacia una aviación más sostenible". El programa ha aportado valiosos conocimientos sobre lacombustión del hidrógeno, lossistemas de combustibley laintegración del motor, respaldando el potencial de futuros aviones propulsados por hidrógeno para reducir significativamente las emisiones de carbono en la aviación europea y británica, complementando además el uso decombustibles sostenibles de aviación (SAF)para apoyar el crecimiento futuro, tal y como se recoge en el informe Enabling Hydrogen in the European Aviation Market. Adam Newman, responsable de ingeniería delprograma demostrador de hidrógenode Rolls-Royce, comenta: "Este programa nos ha proporcionado la comprensión más clara de la industria sobre cómo se comporta el hidrógeno en unaturbina de gasaeronáutica moderna. Mediante un enfoque de pruebas colaborativo y por fases, hemos validado tecnologías de combustión, combustible y sistemas de control, y demostrado el uso seguro del hidrógeno desde el diseño hasta la puesta en marcha, mantenimiento y pruebas". "Hemos explorado una amplia gama de condiciones operativas, incluidos escenarios de fallo, lo que ha permitido operar a máxima potencia y durante todo el ciclo de vuelo. La rapidez en la ejecución ha sido clave, y los conocimientos adquiridos, muchos de ellos aplicables adistintos combustibles, se utilizarán en futuros programas, incluidoUltraFan, reforzando nuestra confianza en que la turbina de gas seguirá siendo clave en el futuro de la aviación sostenible", añadió. Anupam Singhal, presidente de fabricación de Tata Consultancy Services, señala: "Este hito refleja lo que es posible cuandolaingeniería avanzadase combina con capacidades digitalesy una profunda colaboración en el ecosistema para acercar lainnovación disruptivaa la realidad. En TCS, estamos orgullosos de apoyar a Rolls-Royce en la aceleración de lapropulsión con hidrógenomediante nuestra experiencia en ingeniería, sistemas y software. Este logro marca unavance significativo, demostrando no solo la viabilidad del hidrógeno, sino también la preparación del sector para convertir la ambición en ejecución". Eldoctor Nigel Moss, responsable del sector aeroespacial en el centro científico delHealth and Safety Executive(Reino Unido), afirma: "Durante más de dos décadas, nuestro centro ha desarrollado unaexperiencia líder mundial en la manipulación segura del hidrógeno, y nuestro trabajo en este proyecto incluyó la construcción y prueba de infraestructuras de hidrógeno presurizado para cumplir exigentes requisitos de seguridad y rendimiento. Como siempre en el sector aeroespacial, la seguridad ha sido una prioridad absoluta en este trabajo innovador". Christine Powell,directora interinadel centroNASA Stennis, añade: "La NASA Stennis ha demostrado ser unlugar de referenciaque permite a la industria realizar pruebas especializadas necesarias para sus misiones. Este hito es un gran ejemplo de cómo nuestra infraestructura y experiencia pueden aprovecharse para avanzar en tecnologías futuras y resolver desafíos más amplios".
