Summary of the lecture
The approach taken by ArcelorMittal on carbon will be outlined. Whilst hydrogen-based manufacturing is clearly one important route to decarbonise primary steel making, there are others, each with their own important advantages. These will be explained in the lecture.
Alan will explain how the carbon agenda fits in to the wider Sustainability agenda and in particular explain the emerging contribution of ResponsibleSteel, the industry first multistakeholder Sustainable Development standard.
