Sustainable steel production is about more than just reducing carbon emissions. Modern steel plants are adopting circular economy principles, focusing on waste heat recovery, material recycling, and resource efficiency to transform what was once considered “waste” into valuable inputs. Recovering Excess Heat By
As climate regulations tighten and transparency becomes non-negotiable, traditional carbon accounting just isn’t enough. Manual spreadsheets, inconsistent data, and slow reporting leave gaps that make it hard for companies—especially in steel—to truly understand their emissions. Today, AI is changing the
Introduction We’re thrilled to announce the successful completion of the SteelSmart Minimum Viable Product (MVP)! This marks a significant milestone in our mission to improve carbon emission monitoring and management within the steel industry, paving the way for more sustainable
In today’s world, carbon transparency has become a strategic necessity. With rising concerns about climate change and increasing pressure to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, business leaders must effectively track and report their carbon output. This not only helps mitigate environmental
In today’s rapidly evolving industrial landscape, reducing carbon emissions is no longer just an environmental responsibility—it’s a business imperative. Smart analytics is emerging as a game-changing tool, enabling companies to monitor, manage, and optimize their carbon footprint like never before.
The EU-backed ECO2Fuel project is pioneering carbon capture and utilization by converting captured CO₂ into sustainable liquid e-fuels using a 1MW low-temperature electrolyzer powered by renewable energy. This system addresses industrial emissions while supporting the EU’s goal of climate neutrality
Over the past year, “green steel” has become a household term in the industry. But here’s the catch: without clear standards, many of these claims are just marketing. In my journey exploring decarbonization in steel, I’ve noticed a few recurring
The urgency of decarbonizing steel is no longer up for debate. The question now is: how fast can we do it? With increasing regulatory pressure, market expectations, and the intensifying impacts of climate change, the global steel industry — responsible
As the global climate crisis deepens, 2025 emerges as a defining year for sustainability—one where bold innovation, strategic foresight, and systemic transformation intersect. Drawing on insights from Nesta’s expert analysis, five pivotal trends are poised to reshape how industries, governments,
Turning Supply Chain Complexity into Strategic Climate Action While Scope 1 & 2 are largely under company control, Scope 3 emissions—from suppliers to end-of-life—can represent 70%+ of total emissions. For industries like steel, addressing Scope 3 is no longer optional;
Carbon accounting has emerged as a critical discipline within corporate sustainability frameworks, enabling organizations to systematically quantify and evaluate greenhouse gas emissions across operational boundaries. By employing robust methodologies to measure key climate-altering agents such as carbon dioxide, methane, and
The steel industry, a cornerstone of global infrastructure and economic development, has long been associated with significant environmental challenges. High energy consumption, substantial carbon emissions, and complex operational processes have made it a focal point in the global push toward
