Greening Steel: How the auto industry can drive change

About this event

Steel production is the most energy and emission-intensive industry worldwide, making up 7% of global GHG emissions. Since steel accounts for a significant portion of vehicle production emissions, its decarbonization is essential to help the transport sector achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. Can the auto industry move to fossil fuel-free steel and support the steel industry transition away from coal-based steel production?

This webinar explores the potential of green steel technologies in vehicle production, automakers’ current steel supply chains, and their commitments to procuring green steel in future. After a presentation of recent ICCT analysis, experts from the auto and steel industries will weigh in to discuss their perspectives on the feasibility of a transition to green steel and the challenges they face.
