Rio Tinto is progressing new technology to deliver low-carbon steel, using sustainable biomass in place of coking coal in the steelmaking process, in a potentially cost-effective option to cut industry carbon emissions. Rio Tinto’s process uses lignocellulosic biomass, instead of coal, primarily as a chemical reductant.
