carolineashley.bsky.social @carolineashley.bsky.social · 31/03/2026How are major steel makers faring in the deep transition needed to low-emissions steel? Today we begin to answer that question. The results are sobering. 010
Reposted by @carolineashley.bsky.socialSteelWatch @steelwatch.bsky.social · 31/03/2026[🧵1/4] The new SteelWatch Corporate Scorecard is out, and none of the steelmakers assessed look good. ❌None score above 50/100 ❌All show ongoing coal dependence ❌All score zero on green iron consumption The gap between talk and action is huge.

Reposted by @carolineashley.bsky.socialSteelWatch @steelwatch.bsky.social · 09/12/2025🧐Tracking major steelmakers’ progress is complex. Emissions data is inconsistent and difficult to compare across companies. Our Executive Director, @carolineashley.bsky.social, explains how the new #SteelWatchTracker helps to cut through the spin 👇 142

carolineashley.bsky.social @carolineashley.bsky.social · 25/06/2025The first time climate protests have been made at Nippon Steel’s AGM. Given steel is made with coal, climate scrutiny will only increase until steel is decarbonised. #greenSteel #GreenIron 000

Reposted by @carolineashley.bsky.socialSteelWatch @steelwatch.bsky.social · 06/05/2025Today, we challenged #ArcelorMittal regarding its inaction amid the #ClimateCrisis. It said it's “trying”, but only as far as profits & policy allow. That’s simply not enough. 🎥 Watch this message from SteelWatch Executive Director, @carolineashley.bsky.social, on why we need more than excuses. 041

carolineashley.bsky.social @carolineashley.bsky.social · 25/03/2025Good discussion of pressures and opportunities in the EU steel decarbonisation transition today, with Johanne Lehne flagging the huge emissions and challenges of the 47 coal-based blast furnaces in Europe.

carolineashley.bsky.social @carolineashley.bsky.social · 15/03/2025Civil society must have its say in the EU 'dialogue' on steel. Industry voices speak for industry, not for the public. Well said @eeb.org 010

carolineashley.bsky.social @carolineashley.bsky.social · 15/03/2025The EU commission says it is intertwining competitiveness and decarbonisation. Good E3G analysis on what that must mean in practice. #ClimateAction 000
carolineashley.bsky.social @carolineashley.bsky.social · 15/03/2025I'm not sure which is more depressing. That ArcelorMittal laid the ground for amending their 2030 targets for emissions cuts last week, or that backsliding barely gets challenged these days. Climate change is not slowing down - ambition, leadership & action are ever more needed! 010
carolineashley.bsky.social @carolineashley.bsky.social · 15/03/2025It was fascinating to join the webinar. Nippon Steel shared detail of plans & were open to questions from all - investors & civil society alike. Good dialogue. Of course a stable climate will need faster progress ... but this felt a good step. #GreenSteel 010
carolineashley.bsky.social @carolineashley.bsky.social · 25/02/2025This is SteelWatch. Many of my posts relate to driving change in steelmaking - which is politically tactically and even technologically fascinating. (And I’ll post on some other interesting stuff too! ) 010

Reposted by @carolineashley.bsky.socialProf. Eliot Jacobson @climatecasino.net · 02/01/2025The long-term average is not yet 1.50°C, using the 20-year average made from the actual temperatures from the previous 10 years and modeled data for the next 10 years. Even assuming accelerating warming, the 20 year long-term average for 2024 was just 1.40°C. But 1.50°C by 2027 seems baked in. 1112128
