Green Steel

Green steel refers to steel that is produced using sustainable methods that significantly reduce carbon emissions compared to traditional steelmaking processes. The production of green steel typically involves the use of renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, or hydrogen, instead of fossil fuels like coal. By utilizing methods like direct reduction using hydrogen or electric arc furnaces powered by renewable energy, green steel aims to minimize the environmental impact of steel production, which is one of the largest industrial sources of greenhouse gases. This innovation is part of a broader effort within the steel industry to transition towards more sustainable practices and combat climate change, supporting initiatives for a circular economy and reducing reliance on carbon-intensive materials.
