“The steel industry contributes about 7% to global carbon emissions. As the world strives for a more sustainable future, the transformation of the steel manufacturing industry is imperative. Emphasizing the development and implementation of innovative approaches to green steel production, particularly H2-based direct reduction processes, stands at the forefront of reducing environmental impact. This aligns with the broader objectives of achieving carbon neutrality. This endeavor not only seeks to mitigate environmental degradation but also paves the way for a greener, more sustainable industrial landscape globally.”
