New! Innovations for
Decarbonizing Steel Production

Steel production is a central technology in advanced economies and is the foundation for a wide range of infrastructure components. However, the iron and steel industry accounts for around 7% of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and 11% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. By 2050, global iron and steel demand is projected to rise as much as 40%. To reach goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, we must drastically reduce industrial emissions from the iron and steel industry. This symposium addresses emerging technologies and engineering development directed toward reducing steels greenhouse gas emissions.

Topics & Application Areas
