Resource Description

This Steel Transition Strategy is part of a series of industry transition strategies developed by the Mission Possible Partnership (MPP) to guide decarbonisation of seven hardest-to-abate sectors: aluminium, chemicals, concrete, steel, aviation, shipping, and trucking.

Why This Matters

Steel is vital for infrastructure and clean energy systems but is highly emissions-intensive. Rapid transformation of its production methods is critical to achieving global climate targets.

Key Insights

Focuses on scaling near-zero emissions steelmaking technologies, especially hydrogen-based and electric methods
Calls for supportive policies, demand signals from buyers, and clearer definitions of “near-zero” steel
Emphasizes investment in enabling infrastructure such as clean energy and hydrogen supply
Recommends international cooperation and support for emerging markets through finance, partnerships, and capacity building
