Steel production, essential for various sectors including automotive, presents a significant challenge for climate change due to its reliance on polluting fossil fuels. However, there is a growing focus on technologies that can produce steel with lower emissions. The automotive industry, a major user of steel, could play a pivotal role in driving this shift. With innovative methods like direct reduction using hydrogen fuel, emissions from steel production could be reduced by up to 95%. The use of greener steel in vehicles could potentially lower manufacturing emissions by 27% with minimal cost implications, offering a promising solution for the industry's sustainability. Companies like H2 Green Steel are investing in low-emissions steel production, with agreements already in place with automakers. While challenges exist, such as the availability and cost of green hydrogen, policy support and commitments from industries could accelerate the adoption of climate-friendly materials.
