This work focuses on siderurgy through the study of companies engaged on greenhouse effect gases reduction. On this text, a panorama of ArcelorMittal Tubarão and its sector is presented along with plans and projects of the company and the greenhouse gases mitigation metrics. The text is divided into four sections: Climactic changes and CO2; The Brazilian siderurgy and ArcelorMittal Tubarão; Company plans and projects; Company Indicator and Goals. The text presents the company environmental policies which refer to greenhouse gases reduction and reutilization of waste. The analysis of the company is based upon studying data from sustainability reports, from the webpage of the company and from questionnaire answered by the company. Despite the fact that the company annually publishes sustainability reports, they make a mistake by introducing incomplete information damaging the analysis of the initiatives and policies executed. However, it presents several points such as clean development mechanisms which can be expanded to other productive plants reducing the environment impact.Descargas

Ethical guidelines for journal publication
The REMOA is committed to ensuring ethics in publication and quality of articles.
Conformance to standards of ethical behavior is therefore expected of all parties involved: Authors, Editors, Reviewers, and the Publisher.
In particular,
Authors: Authors should present an objective discussion of the significance of research work as well as sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the experiments. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review articles should also be objective, comprehensive, and accurate accounts of the state of the art. The authors should ensure that their work is entirely original works, and if the work and/or words of others have been used, this has been appropriately acknowledged. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Authors should not submit articles describing essentially the same research to more than one journal. The corresponding author should ensure that there is a full consensus of all co-authors in approving the final version of the paper and its submission for publication.
Editors: Editors should evaluate manuscripts exclusively on the basis of their academic merit. An editor must not use unpublished information in the editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Editors should take reasonable responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper.
Reviewers: Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviews should be conducted objectively, and observations should be formulated clearly with supporting arguments, so that authors can use them for improving the paper. Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.
