Abstract

The steel industry, a cornerstone of modern infrastructure, is a significant contributor to global CO2 emissions, accounting for roughly 11% of industrial carbon output. To mitigate this impact, breakthrough technologies and decarbonization strategies are essential, especially as extreme weather events highlight the urgency of addressing climate change. Potential routes to a low-carbon future for steelmaking are provided by advancements in carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), hydrogen-based steel manufacturing, and renewable energy integration. This paper explores the emerging technologies aimed at reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the steel sector, with a focus on hydrogen metallurgy and electrorefining processes. Additionally, it discusses the role of recycling in promoting circularity and sustainability. The analysis underscores the need for cross-sector collaboration and policy support to achieve climate goals and transform the steel industry by 2050.
