Decarbonization of Steel Industry - Efforts focus on carbon-free methods for steel manufacturing.

The steel industry is a foundational pillar of modern civilization, indispensable for everything from skyscrapers to automobiles. However, its traditional production methods, which rely heavily on coal, have made it one of the largest industrial sources of greenhouse gas emissions. In the face of a global climate crisis, the industry is undergoing a profound transformation.

The focus is now on developing and scaling technologies that can drastically reduce its carbon footprint. This blog post will explore some of the most critical innovations driving this change, including Hydrogen Direct Reduced Iron (DRI), the decarbonization of the steel industry, the role of the renewable electric arc furnace (EAF), the link to sustainable building materials, and the importance of carbon capture and storage (CCS).
