Critical factors for a transformation of the steel industry

  • Direct iron reduction with green hydrogen

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.
