Decarbonising steel – a net-zero pathway
Steel production could be achieved with almost no carbon emissions via US$ 278 billion of extra investment by 2050, according to a new report from research firm BloombergNEF. Hydrogen and recycling are likely to play a central role in reducing emissions from steel production. Steel is responsible for around 7% of man-made greenhouse gas emissions every year and is one of the world’s most polluting industries.

Ecological transition; regionalisation of markets and neo-protectionism; digital innovation; economic acceleration after the COVID-19 crisis - these are just some of the macro trends that are changing the steel value chain and will be discussed during the ninth edition of Made in Steel, the conference and exhibition in Milan, Italy, from 5-7 October 2021.
