Canada’s Algoma Steel Group Inc. has produced its first steel from Unit One of its new electric arc furnace (EAF) production line after more than ten days of successful testing and tuning.

The EAF transition, a major industrial decarbonization project in Canada, is expected to cut Algoma's carbon emissions by up to 70%. All steel produced by this EAF technology will be branded "Volta" and powered by Ontario's clean electricity grid.

This came as the Trump administration continues to impose and threaten additional tariffs on Canadian steel imports to the US. Despite trade uncertainties, Algoma Steel said this success positions them to meet evolving customer needs and expand into new opportunities with green steel production.
