During a green steel webinar, steel consultant Wade Wright discussed the industry's shift from Blast Furnaces (BF) to Electric-Arc Furnaces (EAF) to achieve zero-emissions steel production. Integrated producers like Cleveland-Cliffs and US Steel are incorporating hydrogen to reduce emissions and lower their carbon footprint by 10-15%. Mini-mills such as Nucor and Steel Dynamics Inc. have a comparative advantage in carbon emissions, producing 0.2-0.5 tonnes of CO2 per tonne of steel compared to integrated mills' 1.5-2.0 tonnes. Wright emphasized the significant cost and sustainability benefits of transitioning to EAFs, citing a one-third reduction in carbon emissions and improved flexibility in production. The switch to EAF production is seen as a clear path to achieving green steel, offering a more financially attractive option for steel producers. The industry's focus on reducing carbon footprint and improving sustainability aligns with the broader goal of transitioning towards cleaner and more cost-effective steel production methods.
