• How is the steel industry tracking vs. the global CO2 budget?
• What drives emissions intensity differences between producers and countries; what mechanisms can be utilized to decarbonize?
• What could transition pathways to low CO2 look like? Hydrogen steelmaking? Carbon capture & storage (CCS)?
Webinar attendees will be able to submit questions anonymously during and in advance of a Q&A session with CRU’s steel experts. Click here to register.
