ArcelorMittal publishes concept for global low-carbon emissions physical steel standard

Green Car Congress

ArcelorMittal published a concept for a low-carbon emissions steel standard to help incentivize the decarbonization of steelmaking globally and support the creation of market demand for physical steel products which would be classified as lower, and ultimately near-zero, carbon emissions steel.

Novel adaptation for existing blast furnaces could reduce steelmaking emissions by 88%; closed-loop carbon recycling

Green Car Congress

Researchers from the University of Birmingham have designed a novel adaptation for existing blast furnaces that could reduce CO 2 emissions from the steelmaking industry by nearly 90%. billion in 5 years while reducing overall UK emissions by 2.9%. If implemented in the UK alone, the system could deliver cost savings of £1.28

Study finds limiting warming to 2 °C would require at least a $200/t carbon tax globally

Green Car Congress

All regions of the world do not—and will not—experience the effects of CO 2 emissions in the same way. These heterogeneous effects mean that different countries will have differing incentives to abide by the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming below 2 °C relative to pre-Industrial levels.
