But alignment alone won’t deliver low-emission steel. We cheer on the technical folk doing the wizardry for interoperability, but meanwhile, we urge steelmakers to get on with applying these standards & investing in tech that will secure them the highest grades & lowest emissions for their steel.

"It is a positive step forward that the decarbonisation standards of these three organisations — one Chinese, one European, and one global — are aligning,” said Caroline Ashley, Executive Director of SteelWatch.
This is a welcome step toward clearer, more interoperable global frameworks.

But it doesn’t have to be this way. The SteelWatch Explainer, “Why steelmaking drives climate change,” unpacks how iron production drives emissions, and how the industry can and must eliminate coal through cleaner pathways.

Most steelmakers still rely on coal-based blast furnaces to produce iron, a process that emits 2.33 tonnes of CO2 for every tonne of steel produced. As a result, the steel industry is responsible for around 11% of global CO2 emissions.

AM/NS India is the only one of the four with no net zero target, and the one with the biggest planned expansion of coal-based blast furnace production.

The report highlights that steel production, which is responsible for around 8% of GHG emissions, saw its emissions plateau in 2021. While this slowdown stems mainly from lower output, rather than cleaner production routes, it underscores a decisive moment for the sector to adapt & lead. Read more☝️

While steelmaker, BlueScope, is calling for fossil gas-based DRI to replace coal-based production and urging an expansion of gas fields, IEEFA’s analysis shows clearly that fossil gas DRI is the wrong option for Australia, whether from a climate or competitiveness lens. Read more ☝️

What needs demystifying? Steel is strong, shiny and essential to modern life. It is at the heart of our infrastructure and our economy. It plays a key part in the ‘green transition’ to a more sustainable future, essential for everything from wind turbines and solar panels to electric vehicles and green buildings. But the way […]

Steelmakers use coal-based blast furnaces to make iron, which results in massive emissions. The average tonne of steel made through this process results in 2.33 tonnes CO2 being emitted.
