Green Steel Topic Report
In 2022, global crude steel production was 1.9 gigatonnes (Gt) and contributed 5% to 7% of the anthropogenic CO2e produced annually. The average metric tonne (mt) of steel produces 1.9 mt CO2, and this footprint needs to decrease to 0.2 mt CO2 to reach the 2050 Paris Agreement goals. This report analyzes leading pathways such as electric arc furnaces, hydrogen reduction, and carbon capture. Other solutions analyzed include molten oxide electrolysis, solid and gas hydrogen-rich fuels, artificial intelligence, steel substitutes, and more. The most investable companies and industries are identified.

Topic reports explore cleantech investment spaces with the aim to calibrate investors, uncover opportunities, and identify possible solutions to Solving Climate+ by 2050.
SEP produces topic reports twice per quarter to gather data and insights important to evaluating key cleantech investment spaces as part of our Innovation Flow Reporting (IFR) service. Standalone topic reports are available as short-term services with individualized support.
This is not a consulting or academic report. IFR Topic Reports are more like subject dossiers with clips of essential data and in-house analysis needed to track down and solve a mystery.
