Steel is responsible for around 7% of man-made greenhouse gas emissions every year and is one of the world’s most polluting industries. By 2050, green hydrogen could be the cheapest production method for steel and capture 31% of the market. Most of the costs to make green steel come from operations, rather than capital costs.

The initial cost of EVs , at least at this time, is very expensive. The car market, including secondhand vehicles, is very expensive at the moment, so not everyone has the luxury of just getting up, going to their local dealer and buying a new EV or even a new car that isn’t a gas guzzler. Is this actually possible? Maybe a Tune-Up?
