<li><strong>CELSA Group&#8217;s steel production in Spain reached about 3.6 Mt.</strong></li>
<li><strong>The family-owned low-emission circular steel company made sales in 115 countries during the past year 2021. </strong></li>
<li><strong>The volume of scrap consumed for the manufacturing of circular steel exceeded 7.3 Mt. Additionally, the company recycled more than one million tons of by-products.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Progress of activity results 2021</strong></p>
<p><strong>Barcelona, February 25, 2022.- </strong>CELSA Group, first European low emissions and circular steel company has been awarded €2.5 million through the ACTIVA Financing Program, that the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism destines to aid to I+D+I projects in the field of Connected Industry 4.0.</p>
<p>CELSA Group, a leading company in Europe in the manufacturing of circular and low-emission steel, <strong>recovered the level of production prior to the pandemic in 2021, exceeding the 6.5 Mt of steel produced in its European steel mills</strong>, in accordance with the advance of the group&#8217;s activity results, pending audit.</p>
<p>During the 2021 financial year, CELSA Group has been able to capture the growth in activity that has been registered, in general, in all the sectors for which its production is destined, once projects were reactivated after the stoppage caused by COVID-19 that exceptionally affected the company&#8217;s results in 2020.</p>
<p><strong>The steel produced by CELSA Group is chosen by its customers because it is circular and produced with low emissions, since it is manufactured from ferrous scrap and in electric arc furnaces</strong>, the most sustainable production system possible today, since it reduces CO2 emissions by 9 times (scope 1 and 2), with respect to the blast furnace production system. In this way, CELSA Group&#8217;s circular and low-carbon steel also contributes to reducing the carbon footprint of the recipient of the supplies.</p>
<p><strong>More than 7.3 Mt of scrap consumed to produce circular steel</strong></p>
<p>During the 2021 financial year, CELSA Group consumed more than 7.3 Mt of ferrous scrap in its production centers for the production of steel, in accordance with its circular business model based on the use of recycled scrap as raw material. The steel it produces is, in turn, recyclable infinite times, which results in the company&#8217;s circularity model, which has set the goal of reaching 100% circularity by 2025. Currently more than 93% of the steel it produces is from scrap recycling. The company is the first steel recycler in Spain and the second in Europe. Additionally, the company recycled more than one million tons of by-products.</p>
<p><strong>Good prospects for 2022</strong></p>
<p>CELSA Group foresees the continuity in the consolidation of production throughout 2022, in accordance with the forecasts that they also manage in the sector.</p>
<p><strong>Recovery of production in all countries</strong></p>
<p>By country, Spain reached about 3.6 million tons of steel produced in rolling mills. The production in Poland is also highlighted, with more than 1.1 Mt of steel, and the United Kingdom with about 1 Mt, respectively.<br />
The 2021 financial year was especially good for <strong>Celsa Nordics</strong> (Norway), whose finished steel production stood at about 538,000 tonnes.<br />
In France, CELSA France exceeded 625,000 tons of steel produced in steelworks, in the year in which the installation of a new rolling mill was completed, which was tested last December, and which, in 2022, will allow it to manufacture rolled steel chips, matching the rest of the countries in which CELSA Group operates.<br />
The steel produced in CELSA Group was sold in 115 different countries. From Spain, the company made sales to 113 countries, from France to 9 countries, from the United Kingdom to 19 countries, from Poland to 37 countries, and from Norway sold steel to a total of 13 countries.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

<li><strong>Of the 33 projects approved by the Ministry of Industry in the 2021 call for aid to I+D+I projects in the field of connected industry 4.0, a total of 7 have been driven by the family company for the digitalization of its industrial processes in Barcelona.<br />
</strong></li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Barcelona, 15 February 2022.- </strong>CELSA Group, first European low emissions and circular steel company has been awarded €2.5 million through the ACTIVA Financing Program, that the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism destines to aid to I+D+I projects in the field of Connected Industry 4.0.</p>
<p>The family company has been awarded economic financing to carry out 7 initiatives to digitize its industrial processes in Barcelona, of the total of the 33 projects approved by the Ministry, or what is the same, it will receive 25% of the total funds distributed in this annual call for aid that dates back to 2016.</p>
<p><strong><br />
Roadmap to digital transformation</strong></p>
<p>The clear commitment of recent years to digitalization has driven CELSA Group to position itself as a clear reference in the advance towards the paradigm of The Connected Industry 4.0.  The company has broadly defined its roadmap towards digital transformation and has also made an exhaustive diagnosis of its digital capabilities and a detailed proposal of new technologies and tools to be implemented.</p>
<p>The projects proposed by CELSA address new processes in different operational areas based on Artificial Intelligence, <em>Machine Learning</em>, Internet of Things or <em>Big Data</em> solutions, and their realization and implementation will promote a new connected and highly efficient work environment.</p>
<p>&#8220;The support received is a significant incentive for CELSA Group to accelerate its digital transformation, which allows it to have reliable data to be able to move towards the development of products with greater added value and promote better decision-making, in order to increase its competitiveness, as well as the sustainability and circularity of its processes&#8221;, as explained by its CEO<strong>, Francesc Rubiralta.</strong></p>
<p>CELSA Group&#8217;s strategic objectives are to achieve complete circularity over<strong> the next five years and become a Net Positive company by 2040</strong>, ten years ahead of the European Union&#8217;s decarbonisation forecasts. Likewise, the company that is already <em>low</em> <em>carbon</em> today, plans to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 70%, in 2025.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Circular and <em>low carbon</em></strong> <strong>steel production model</strong></p>
<p>The company bases its industrial model on circularity, which implies that 93% of the raw material it uses comes from recycled material and, in addition, the steel it produces is 100% recyclable. In addition, 90% of the waste and by-products generated by its production processes are recovered and become new value-added products. Likewise, CELSA Group is, unlike much of the steel sector in Europe, a company that produces low-emission steel since it uses electric arc furnaces, the most sustainable system that currently exists and that emits 9 times less CO2 than that of conventional blast furnaces.</p>
<p>The CELSA Group projects that have been included in the ACTIVA Financing program are:</p>
<ul>
<li>the implementation of automatic guided vehicles for the evacuation of the husk that is generated in the reheating furnace of the rolling mill.</li>
<li>the development of an intelligent autonomous solution for the loading of the furnace, which makes the movements of the crane more efficient, which optimizes its consumption, and which increases at the same time the safety of the installation.</li>
<li>a new remote-control system for the loading cranes of the structural profile train reheating furnace, using advanced sensors and intelligent automatic systems.</li>
<li>a system of quantification and classification of raw material through artificial intelligence, through the incorporation of machine learning functions for image analysis and high-resolution image capture techniques through the use of drones.</li>
<li>the development of new solutions for predictive maintenance in industrial processes, through the incorporation of machine learning functions to predict maintenance, based on data collected from different points of the steel process. New systems for the control and monitoring of the melting and refining of scrap, thanks to the implementation of thermographic technologies, enabling predictive decision-making about the process through <em>Machine Learning</em> and <em>Deep Learning tools. </em></li>
<li>the incorporation of collaborative robotics technologies to improve productivity and technological training in the main industrial areas of CELSA Group. To this end, it is committed to the automation of strategic production stages of the steel manufacturing process through the design and development of robotic systems.</li>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<ul>
<li><strong><strong><strong>The SHYNE (Spanish Hydrogen Network) project is the largest multisectoral consortium in Spain, created to promote the decarbonization of the economy through renewable hydrogen.
<p></strong></strong></strong></li>
<li><strong><strong><strong>SHYNE will deploy projects in ten autonomous communities and have a total investment of €3.23 billion euros that will serve to develop more competitive technologies and evolve both the Spanish industry and its infrastructure towards decarbonization, generating more than 13,000 jobs.
<p></strong></strong></strong></li>
<li><strong><strong><strong>The presentation ceremony was attended by the Secretary of State for Energy, Sara Aage-sen, and the Secretary General for Industry and SMEs, Raül Blanco. It brought together representatives of the 33 entities that make up this ecosystem at Campus Repsol, the headquarters of the multi-energy company.
<p></strong></strong></strong></li>
<li><strong><strong><strong>Repsol leads the consortium, while six other companies, each a benchmark in their sector &#8211; Alsa, Bosch, Celsa, Enagas, Scania, and Talgo &#8211; act as promoters of the initiative. The other 26 partners &#8211; associations, public and private companies, technology centers, and universities &#8211; will assume the role of project collaborators.
<p></strong></strong></strong></li>
<li><strong><strong><strong>Among the consortium&#8217;s objectives is the ambition to reach an installed capacity of 500 MW in 2025 and 2 GW in 2030. This is half of the target set in the Hydrogen Roadmap published by the Spanish Government.
<p></strong></strong></strong></li>
<li><strong><strong><strong>In addition, projects will be promoted throughout the value chain, including installing renewable generation and stimulating the different industrial uses of hydrogen through a strong sectoral integration. It will also promote the use of hydrogen in all transportation segments, through the production of synthetic fuels and the creation of an infrastructure with at least 12 hydrogen filling stations by 2025.
<p></strong></strong></strong></li>
<li><strong>The consortium will be a national collaboration network that will support all projects and manage the knowledge and research of pioneering technologies, promoting competitiveness and the creation of quality employment. The commitment of the participating entities and the sum of their capabilities will place Spain at the technological forefront, as one of the powers in the renewable hydrogen economy in Europe.</strong></li>
</ul>
<p>The SHYNE (Spanish Hydrogen Network) project, the largest renewable hydrogen consortium in Spain, made up of 33 entities from different sectors, was presented today at Campus Repsol, the headquarters of the multi-energy company. It brings together 22 companies and 11 associations, technology centers, and universities under the leadership of Repsol with the aim of promoting renewable hydrogen projects in all areas of the Spanish economy and, thus, stimulating rapid and effective decarbonization through this energy vector that is considered one of the keys to the energy transition.</p>
<p>SHYNE aspires to be a benchmark project in Europe, structuring new opportunities throughout the value chain, through collaboration between companies that pursue a common goal: decarbonizing their activity, and joining efforts and investments to achieve it. To this end, the project has six promoting partners, in addition to Repsol. All are leading companies in their sectors: Alsa, Bosch, Celsa, Enagas, Scania, and Talgo.</p>
<p>The projects grouped in SHYNE will involve an accumulated investment of €3.23 billion. This investment will enable the implementation of different initiatives for the production, distribution, and use of renewable hydrogen in the industrial sector, in transport, as well as other applications, and the development of pioneering technologies and acceleration if the deployment plans for this gas. The overall project is expected to generate more than 13,000 jobs.</p>
<p>The Secretary of State for Energy, <b>Sara Aagesen</b>, participated in the presentation ceremony, pointing out that &#8220;renewable hydrogen is a national project. It is the piece of the puzzle we were missing to move towards the decarbonization of the economy, achieve climate neutrality in 2050, and advance in the development of knowledge, &#8216;made in Spain&#8217; technology, and the consolidation of the business fabric and industrial value chains&#8221;. Aagesen also highlighted the important role of hydrogen in the Strategic Project for the Recovery and Economic Transformation of Renewable Energies, Renewable Hydrogen, and Storage (PERTE ERHA) and pointed out that the SHYNE initiative &#8220;is set within the Government&#8217;s integrative country project&#8221;, which &#8220;in line with the objectives of PERTE ERHA will promote the development of renewable hydrogen clusters&#8221; and that &#8220;it is a tractor project for the industrial and technological fabric, with a global approach that brings together large, medium, and small companies.&#8221;</p>
<p>For his part, the Secretary General of Industry and SMEs, <b>Raúl Blanco</b>, closed the event by emphasizing that &#8220;Spain has a unique opportunity and all the capacity to lead the hydrogen industrial value chain in Europe. The SHYNE project is a great example of this. We celebrate the launch of this project and the participation of 22 companies and 11 associations, technology centers, and universities that demonstrate the unique industrial and technological capacity that Spain has.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>Project framed in CELSA Group’s strategic objectives</strong></p>
<p>CELSA Group&#8217;s participation in this project is fully aligned with the company’s aspiration to become Net Positive by 2040, one of the objectives included in their Sustainability Roadmap. The family company that produces circular and low-emission steel, thanks to the use of steel production technology in electric arc furnaces, -the most efficient and sustainable that currently exist-, seeks to introduce hydrogen into its production processes to contribute to advance its complete decarbonization.</p>
<p><strong>&#8220;At CELSA Group, we have identified renewable hydrogen as a key element in achieving our strategic goal of being net positive by 2040. Now we are a low-emission company in our sector, but we work to achieve a net zero carbon emissions level in our activity. Being part of this project gives us an opportunity to do this and to contribute to the development of the ecosystem necessary for Spain to become a European leader in the production and consumption of green hydrogen&#8221;, explains the President and CEO of CELSA Group, Francesc Rubiralta.</strong></p>
<p><strong>A project for the country aligned with the Government&#8217;s objectives </strong></p>
<p>Spain is in a privileged position compared to other countries to capture the opportunities generated by the new renewable hydrogen economy thanks to the great availability of solar and wind resources, as well as the industry&#8217;s own capacity to adapt to a new economy around the hydrogen value chain.</p>
<p>The SHYNE project aims to generate an ecosystem that connects the large regional hydrogen initiatives already underway, such as the Basque Region Hydrogen Corridor (BH2C), the Hydrogen Valley of the Region of Catalonia, and the Hydrogen Valley of the Region of Murcia. In addition, SHYNE will promote the creation of two new innovation hubs in the regions of Castile-La Mancha and Madrid. Their objective will be the advancement of competitive technologies that are under development, such as photoelectrocatalysis or solid oxide electrolysis (SOEC). These technologies will help the country to maintain technological sovereignty in this new energy vector.</p>
<p>A knowledge management center will also be created in Madrid to coordinate cross-cutting actions and position the participating technology centers and universities as centers of reference in Europe. In this way, an efficient network will be created that will capture the synergies between production poles, industrial centers, and other hydrogen consumers, ensuring the competitiveness of the renewable gas and avoiding the transfer of additional costs to end users.</p>
<p>The SHYNE project is perfectly aligned with the objectives outlined by both the European Union and the Spanish Government. The latter, in the Hydrogen Roadmap published in October 2020, has set the target of reaching 4 GW of capacity by 2030. For its part, the “Spain Can Plan” supports the creation of this type of consortia, especially those that are multisectoral and integrate the entire value chain and that promote public-private collaboration and collaboration with small and medium-sized companies, as well as with research centers to boost the hydrogen economy.</p>
<p>In turn, SHYNE is aligned with the Strategic Projects for the Recovery and Economic Transformation of Renewable Energies, Renewable Hydrogen and Storage (PERTE ERHA) of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan launched by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge last December.</p>
<p>11 associations, technology centers and universities are collaborating partners in the projects. These include the Spanish Hydrogen Association (AEH2), the National Center for Hydrogen and Fuel Cell Technology Experimentation (CNH2), the Spanish Society of Ceramics and Glass, the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC), the Automotive Technology Center of the Region of Galicia (CTAG), the Foundation for the Development of New Hydrogen Technologies in the Region of Aragon (FHa), the Energy Research Institute of the Region of Catalonia (IREC), TECNALIA, and Cidetec, as well as the universities of Castile-La Mancha and Alicante.</p>
<p>The consortium is made up of 22 companies from different sectors, such as Iberia and Balearia, leaders in air and maritime transport, respectively. The public company Navantia and PYMAR, a company that brings together small and medium-sized private shipyards in Spain; Steel companies such as Sidenor, AMES Group, and Tubacex; Calvera, which designs gas storage and distribution systems. Electricity production companies such as BBE. Engineering companies for electric mobility, such as EPowerlabs.  Primafrío, specialized in refrigerated transport; the leading engineering company in marine solutions, Wartsila. The technology companies Zigor, which develops power electronics systems, and Magrana, specialized in innovative solutions for industry. Also, DYPAM, a spin-off of the University of Castile-La Mancha that is focused on designing and processing advanced materials. The synergies between these entities through the SHYNE consortium will drive coordinated industrial developments throughout the hydrogen value chain.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>• It will produce 550,000 tons of rolled products per year and gives direct access to the French and Benelux steel-rolled markets. </p>
<p>• The start-up of the new rolling mill at the Celsa France complex in Bayonne will allow CELSA Group to further diversify its activity and boost its international business to invoice new growth as of next year.</p>
<p>• The new train has involved an investment of 65 million euros and will generate around 140 new direct jobs and 420 indirect jobs, between France and Spain.</p>
<p><b>Barcelona, December 27th, 2021.-</b> Celsa France, a company that is integrated as a business unit within the consolidated Spanish CELSA Group, has begun the testing phase of the new rolling mill in the company&#8217;s industrial complex in Bayonne, with the recent ignition of the furnace of the installation and with the production of first steel pieces, in which it has invested 65 million euros.</p>
<p>Celsa France will produce up to 550,000 tons of rolled products per year in Bayonne, which will allow it to access a new European market that consumes around 20 million tons of wire rod per year. At full capacity, the new rolling mill, whose manufacture began in January 2020, has a generating capacity and revenues of around 300 million euros per year.<br />
The new facility will definitely come into operation once the tests that have begun with the ignition of the furnace and that will continue for a few weeks are finished.<br />
The investment made to build the new rolling mill will generate around 140 new jobs directly and 420 counting indirect employment, located in the area of influence of Bayonne (France and Spain) and is an important boost to the economic dynamism of the region at the same time as strengthening the position of Celsa France, which today is the main company in the French Basque Country and represents 45% of Bayonne&#8217;s port traffic.</p>
<p><b>Improving access to the French market</b></p>
<p>The start-up of this facility means that Celsa France will be able to produce finished products and thus have direct access to a market for products with greater added value, which will provide greater capacity for return and profitability on investment.<br />
The steel group will improve its access to the French market where one in 10 tons of steel is sold in the total European market, and to Belgium and Holland and even northern Spain, producing from the south of France and therefore diversifying products and markets. Production from France also allows to improve delivery times and customer service and operate directly from the territory.</p>
<p><b><br />
Alliance with a strategic client<br />
</b><br />
Celsa France has also signed a strategic alliance with one of its customers, Intersig France, which will buy part of the new production and help it open the market for finalist products in the French market. The alliance with Intersig France allows both companies to promote productive synergies in the same plant in Bayonne that allows from the start to make the investment profitable. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>• CELSA Group reorganizes its organizational structure to promote its strategic objectives of circularity and sustainability and creates the figure of the Chief Circular Officer (CCO) and the Chief Strategy &#038; Sustainability Officer (CSSO).</p>
<p>• The company, which has a long history as a circular company and producer of steel with low emissions, has set itself the strategic objectives of achieving complete circularity in 5 years and being Net Positive in 2040.</p>
<p><b>Barcelona, December 16th, 2021.-</b> CELSA Group, the first circular and low-emission steel company in Europe, has been awarded 2.5 million euros of the total of 57.4 million euros that the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism has announced to allocate to 30 innovation and sustainability projects in the field of manufacturing.</p>
<p>CELSA Group&#8217;s strategic objectives are to achieve complete circularity in <b>the next five years and become a Net Positive company by 2040,</b> ten years ahead of the European Union&#8217;s decarbonization forecasts. Likewise, the company that is already low carbon today, plans to reduce scope 1 and 2 emissions by 70%, in 2025.<br />
The group will use this aid to strengthen its sustainability and circularity strategy and accelerate its implementation by investing in its &#8220;Innovation and Sustainability Plan&#8221; to promote the circular economy and reduce CO2 emissions that it already has in place.<br />
The 2.5 million euros will be allocated to specific company projects in the field of the valorization of by-products derived from the steel production process and the improvement of energy efficiency and the implementation of environmental improvement measures of steelmaking processes.</p>
<p><b>New organizational structure to enhance circularity and sustainability</b></p>
<p>Coinciding with its strategic approach to circularity and sustainability, CELSA Group has reorganized its organizational structure to support and promote the fulfillment of the objectives contemplated in its Strategic Plan 2021-2028, which focuses on consolidating its circular and sustainable business model and on competitiveness, integration, diversification, and growth.<br />
To promote these two key strategic lines that are circularity and sustainability, CELSA Group has created two new responsibilities, that of <b>Chief Circular Officer (CCO) and the Chief Strategy &#038; Sustainability Officer (CSSO). Xavier Cabré</b> has been appointed as <b>Chief Circular Officer</b>, who is responsible for maximizing CELSA Group&#8217;s commitment to circularity, while as <b>Chief Strategy &#038; Sustainability Officer, Juan Carlos Orozco</b> has been appointed, who is responsible for defining and executing the Sustainability strategy.</p>
<p>These two new areas are integrated into the Executive Committee led by the president and CEO of Celsa Group, <b>Francesc Rubiralta</b>, and in which the CEOs of all <b>the regional directorates</b> also participate, as well as the directors of the rest of the <b>functional areas</b> (Commercial and Marketing, Financial, People and Operations).<br />
For the <b>president of CELSA Group, Francesc Rubiralta,</b>&#8221; the sustainability strategy is a business strategy, and the business strategy is a sustainability strategy and so we wanted to reflect it and put it into practice with this new structure&#8221;.</p>
<p><b><br />
Circular and low carbon steel production model<br />
</b><br />
The company bases its industrial model on circularity, which implies that 93% of the raw material it uses comes from recycled material and, in addition, the steel it produces is 100% recyclable. In addition, 90% of the waste and by-products generated by its production processes are valorized and become new value-added products. Likewise, CELSA Group is, unlike much of the steel sector in Europe, a company that produces low-emission steel since it uses electric arc furnaces, the most sustainable system that currently exists and that emits 9 times less CO2 than that of conventional blast furnaces.</p>

Family company of world reference has positioned itself as a leader in the manufacture of circular steel,  for its integration throughout the value chain, recycling scrap and producing  steel  in electric arc furnaces,  a more sustainable production system that exists today, which has made it a company with low  CO2  emissions   in its sector.
