Transforming Steel

Transformation of the steel industry | critical factors
  • Direct iron reduction with green hydrogen
  • Carbon capture and storage (CCS)
  • Additional gains will come from direct iron reduction with natural gas (with CCS on remaining emissions), and increased scrap use

Global burden of steel production

Industry-endorsed strategy

In 2022, we developed a Steel Sector Transition Strategy in collaboration with a diverse set of industry leaders. This provides a shared vision for a clean steel future, modelling of pathways, real economy milestones and the industry, policy and finance actions required to get there. Assumptions have not been updated since publication, but the STS still represents a quantitative reference point.
