The steel industry produces3.6 billion metric tons of CO2 each year, accounting for 7-10% of global carbon emissions.

The global steel industry aspiresto be carbon neutral by 2050-60.

Demand for steel is projectedto increaseby 25% by 2050.

Steel is100% recyclable.

Challenges

The steel industry is an essential component of modern society, producing the most widely used metal on earth. With the growing concern over climate change, transitioning to low-carbon production processes is critical for both the steel industry and the planet’s sustainability. According to the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit over 130 countries have committed to becoming carbon neutral by 2050. They include the 27-nation European Union, which has proposed a “Fit by 55” legislative package aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emission by at least 55 percent by 2030.
