Report summary
China's expansion of its Emission Trading Scheme (ETS) to the steel industry by 2025 signals a major shift in global steel markets. This move, part of China's carbon neutrality goal, will cover over 80% of the industry's emissions. Expected impacts include rising production costs, industry consolidation, increased adoption of low-carbon technologies, and potential steel price hikes. While challenges exist in implementation and preventing carbon leakage, opportunities for green innovation abound. As China leads this transformation, the global steel industry braces for significant changes.
