The production of steel is one of the most energy-intensive of all industrial activities, and also responsible for a good portion of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions. The world produces about 1.5 billion tons of steel annually. The enormous, extremely hot cauldrons where this steel is made contribute around 5% of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions. On average, the production of one ton of steel generates about two tons of CO2 emissions. But now, … Read More
