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 ☝️

SteelWatch Explainer: Why steelmaking drives climate change – and why it doesn’t have to be this way - SteelWatch
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 […]

But it doesn’t have to be this way. The SteelWatch Explainer, “Why steelmaking drives climate change”, demystifies how steel is made, how iron production drives climate change, and highlights how the steel industry CAN and MUST rapidly transform production to eliminate coal.

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.

To backtrack now would send the wrong signal and not only undermine Europe’s credibility but also weaken the momentum of climate action globally.

China added steelmaking to its own emerging carbon pricing system earlier this year. The EU is catalysing exactly the kind of global conversations that are needed for wider climate action.
However, some steelmakers are pushing the EU Commission to delay or “revise” these reforms.
