🔥Conventional steelmaking is emissions-heavy.
Swap to using #GreenIron, and you’ve got a process that’s a lot lighter on our climate ✅
But who could provide this green iron?
🇨🇦 Canada, according to new research from @lunduniversity.bsky.social !

[2/3🧵] SteelWatch commented on the research, saying “it’s a win-win opportunity: a new industrial opportunity for Canada, & a trusted supply of green iron to feed the electric arc furnaces of steelmakers in countries where their own green hydrogen suppliers are too limited.”

💡New @lunduniversity.bsky.social research reveals Canada’s huge potential to become a leading #GreenIron producer.

By producing near-zero emissions iron with #GreenHydrogen, Canadian iron production could eliminate up to 105 Mt of CO2 from domestic & foreign steelmaking annually.

Is ArcelorMittal really the global industry leader it positions itself to be, or is it actually falling behind & missing opportunities as the industry moves forward?

In the newly-released 2024 Sustainability Report, #ArcelorMittal admits that it’s “increasingly unlikely” to achieve its 2030 carbon emissions intensity target: bit.ly/4lWq5y2

Yet, competitors, like SSAB & Salzgitter, are moving forward with 1.5C-aligned targets & binding investment plans.

Closing its Kashima’s No. 3 furnace is a step away from coal-based steel production, but 9 more remain with no clear transition plan.

Is it just us, or does ArcelorMittal’s 2024 Annual Report read like a “how to avoid #ClimateAction” playbook? 🤔🤔
Step 1️⃣: Backtrack on, or delay steel decarbonisation investments.
Step 2️⃣: Learn to excel at blaming others for stalling steel decarbonisation.

The EU’s #CleanIndustrialDeal seeks to future-proof Europe’s steel sector.

But policy alone won’t cut it.
