30 h. ago Advanced steelmaking technologies could substantially reduce carbon emissions

Achieving that goal will require a massive reduction in global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions across all economic sectors. A major roadblock, however, could be the industrial sector, which accounts for roughly 25% of global energy- and process-related CO2 emissions—particularly within the iron and steel sector, industry's largest emitter of CO2.
