Outlook 2022: Setting a strategy for net-zero steel
Industry endorsement of the Net-Zero Steel Sector Transition Strategy promises to unlock decarbonisation in steel and beyond
Driving emissions out of the steel sector is key to broader decarbonisation. It promises early wins that can help keep the 1.50C warming threshold in reach.

But achieving this decarbonisation will require collaboration across the steel industry, throughout its value chain, and with policymakers and investors. Net-zero steel will cost more than steel made with conventional processes, even in the medium term. Bridging this cost differential is key to unlocking investment at the scale and pace required.
