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

Green Car Congress

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. Blast furnace production would fall to 18% of capacity in this scenario.
