BNEF: steel industry set to pivot to hydrogen in green push; additional $278B for clean capacity and retrofits

Green Car Congress

The next ten years could see a massive expansion of steel capacity to meet demand in growing economies, such as India. Commissioning natural gas-fired plants could set producers up to have some of the lowest-cost capacity by retrofitting them to burn hydrogen in the 2030s and 2040s. Today’s new plants are tomorrow’s retrofits.
