Green steel is steel produced using innovative lower carbon production methods. As concerns over climate change intensify globally, steel manufacturers are under increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions arising from traditional coal-based steelmaking processes. The production of green steel relies on clean technologies like hydrogen reduction or electric arc furnaces combined with carbon capture utilization and storage to purify hot metal. This helps minimize carbon footprint and make steel production more environmentally sustainable. With many countries announcing bold net-zero emission targets for mid-century, the green steel market is expected to grow significantly to help various industries transition to low-carbon economy.
Market Dynamics:
The global green steel market is driven by stringent environmental regulations regarding carbon emissions from heavy industries. Rising focus on sustainability across supply chains, and growing investments in clean hydrogen and renewable energy infrastructure critical for green steel production methods. However, high costs of setting up greenfield plants based completely on clean technologies and lack of infrastructure for supply of clean fuels present challenges. On the positive side, tangible opportunities exist in replacing aging steel assets with modern efficient systems, improving scrap metal recycling rates, and expanding carbon capture technologies to decarbonize the industry. With supportive government policies and innovative business models, the market is likely to witness extensive adoption of green manufacturing practices going forward.
