Steel is responsible for around 7% of man-made greenhouse gas emissions every year and is one of the world’s most polluting industries. Converting a significant portion of the fleet to hydrogen would require more DRI plants and more electric furnaces. This would be a major shift in the type of furnaces and fuels used to produce steel.
