Summary of the lecture
Climate change is the biggest issue for the steel industry in the 21st century.
In her lecture Ms Ekdahl will introduce worldsteel’s three-track approach to support the transformation to low-carbon manufacturing.
Steel is a global industry producing advanced materials vital for the health of the global economy and services people depend on every day.
As there is no one solution to reduce emissions from steel manufacturing and the application of steel, the lecture explores some of the latest developments on the journey to reduced climate change emissions from the steel industry.
