🔥Conventional steelmaking is emissions-heavy. Swap to using #GreenIron, and you’ve got a process that’s a lot lighter on our climate ✅ But who could provide this green iron? 🇨🇦 Canada, according to new research from @lunduniversity.bsky.social ! 🔗 Read more: bit.ly/4j7QbM7 #GreenSteel

[3/3🧵]@chrisbataille.bsky.social researcher & co-author of the report says: "With key local ingredients in place, including high-quality iron ore reserves & strong renewable energy potential, we're very well placed to provide near-zero emissions green iron to a global market at a competitive price."

[2/3🧵] SteelWatch commented on the research, saying “it’s a win-win opportunity: a new industrial opportunity for Canada, & a trusted supply of green iron to feed the electric arc furnaces of steelmakers in countries where their own green hydrogen suppliers are too limited.” 🔗Report: bit.ly/4j7QbM7

Is it just us, or does ArcelorMittal’s 2024 Annual Report read like a “how to avoid #ClimateAction” playbook? 🤔🤔 Step 1️⃣: Backtrack on, or delay steel decarbonisation investments. Step 2️⃣: Learn to excel at blaming others for stalling steel decarbonisation.

The steel sector MUST transform year-by-year. Production, trade, pricing, & reuse must evolve for people & planet. Businesses must innovate, policymakers act decisively & civil society stay engaged. Coal MUST be phased out of steelmaking in a just transition. 👀our website: steelwatch.org

If the UK wants to become a world leader in the near-zero emissions steel future, it will require 3 things: ✅Renewable energy supply for electric arc furnaces ✅A stronger supply of high-quality recycled scrap iron ✅A new supply of near-zero emissions green iron briquettes (HBI) from other countries

✨Great to see steel flagged as a priority sector in the EU’s #CID. We urge the @ec.europa.eu to include strong engagement from civil society in next steps. Today’s announcement responds to industry demands. But #ClimateAction & #SocialJustice are at the heart of future-proofing the steel sector.
