Just Have a Think - Fossil free steel. Another giant step towards net carbon zero? 13122020

Steel has become an essential material in our modern world. But the steel making industry is responsible for 7% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. That has to be reduced by at least 60% by 2050 if we are to meet our net carbon zero targets. A solution has been found though, and it replaces carbon with hydrogen. The question is, can it be scaled up quickly enough?

Steelmaking is currently extremely carbon intensive, accounting for about 7% of total global greenhouse gas emissions. As we continue to use ever more steel for new infrastructure around the world, the task of decarbonising the industry is growing ever more urgent. Hydrogen can now perform that task and Volvo has just taken delivery of the first consignment of carbon-free steel. So how is it done, and will it be a gamechanger for the auto industry and wider world?
