How green can steel go: the potential impact on coal and iron ore
Report summary
Our base case for steel production implies a gradual increase in scrap absorption and a gradual evolution in green ironmaking. In our recent cross-commodity webinar we explored a scenario where all available scrap is utilised. We also discussed the role of hydrogen and carbon for the iron industry and what could green steel mean for raw materials demand. You can find our webinar slides and a short summary here.
