Policy Brief
Achieving climate-neutral steel by 2050
Decarbonising the steel sector – responsible for around nine percent of global greenhouse gas emissions – is key to achieving climate neutrality by mid-century.
This policy brief sets out an evidence-based roadmap for transforming the sector, detailing the policies, investments and technologies needed to shift from coal-based to clean production. With major reinvestment decisions ahead, it highlights hydrogen-based direct reduced iron combined with electric arc furnaces as the most promising and scalable route for deep decarbonisation. To drive this transition, the brief outlines a mix of enabling policies, targeted investment and international cooperation to accelerate deployment, cut emissions and build a resilient, climate-neutral steel industry.
