Steel Industry's Carbon Footprint

The steel sector significantly contributes to global CO2 emissions, accounting for about 7% of all man-made greenhouse gas emissions. This makes it the largest carbon-emitting manufacturing sector, and as such, it plays a vital role in the global effort to transition towards net zero emissions. The demand for steel continues to rise due to its essential role in building infrastructure and supporting economic development, which increases the urgency for the industry to adopt cleaner energy sources and reduce emissions. Addressing the steel industry’s environmental impact is therefore critical for achieving global climate goals.
