In the global drive to combat climate change and achieve net-zero emissions, one industry stands out as presenting both a challenge and a massive opportunity for progress: steel production. In their latest Steel Times International article our ABB experts Daniele Pedron and Pasi Mannisto highlight how the steel industry can evolve into a model for industrial decarbonization, proving that even hard-to-abate sectors can adapt and excel in a low-carbon future.

🌍🔧 The Evolution of the Steel Industry: From the Past to the Future 🏗️⚙️ The steel industry has come a long way over the centuries! 📜 Let's take a journey through time and see how it’s evolved: 🔹 1800s: The Industrial Revolution 🌪️ marked the rise of steel, with the invention of the Bessemer process 🏭, making mass production possible! 🔹 20th Century: Steel became the backbone 🦴 of modern infrastructure—building skyscrapers 🏙️, bridges 🌉, and railways 🚂 around the world. 🔹 Today: Advanced production methods like Electric Arc Furnaces ⚡ are making steel production faster and more efficient. 🔹 Future: The industry is going green 🌿 with innovations like hydrogen-based steel production 💚, aiming for a sustainable and carbon-neutral future! 🌍 Steel is more than just a metal—it's a story of resilience, innovation, and transformation! 🚀 #SteelEvolution #IndustrialRevolution #GreenSteel #Sustainability #SteelIndustry #Innovation #FutureOfSteel #Decarbonization #EngineeringMarvels

The steel industry is particularly challenging to decarbonize and is responsible for 11% of global carbon emissions. In steel manufacturing, many resources are consumed, and AI works to develop more ecological formulas to complete the process. #industry #industryengineering #engineeringproject #steelindustry #acero #steel #environment #renewableenergy

Great blog on the future of Scunthorpe steelworks from Ali Poncia

The slogan at #ClimateWeekNYC this year was "It's time". We think it's time for the steel industry to start turning commitments into actions. Earlier at Climate Week, we were proud to celebrate Big River Steel taking the next step on the ResponsibleSteel journey: Certified Steel. "The certification of Big River Steel as the first site globally to achieve ResponsibleSteel Certified Steel is truly a pivotal milestone for the steel industry. It shows both a commitment to decarbonisation, and a viable pathway to net-zero steel that can be measured and accounted for." "By leading the charge, U.S. Steel is setting a benchmark for others in the industry to follow – and they need to follow fast because it’s time for more steelmakers to step up and act, now. We simply can’t afford to lose any more time. It’s time to lead, to speed up climate action and go fast.” – Helen Clarkson, CEO of Climate Group #ResponsibleSteel #netzero #steel #decarbonisation

Steel, derived from iron, an abundant element in the earth's crust, has been vital for centuries. The evolution of steel-making has revolutionized industries globally. From cast iron to steel, the incorporation of carbon has enhanced its properties, making it tougher and more durable than ever. The Bessemer process and open-hearth smelting paved the way for modern steel production, leading to a significant boom in the United States during the 19th century. Andrew Carnegie, a key figure in this transformation, played a pivotal role in shaping the steel industry. His strategic investments and innovative approach propelled the Carnegie Steel Company to success, changing the landscape of steel production forever. Today, the focus is on reducing the environmental impact of steel production. The industry's move towards environmentally friendly smelting technologies, such as electric smelting, signifies a positive step forward in reducing pollution and energy consumption. Embracing sustainable practices is crucial for the future of steel production. #SteelIndustry #EnvironmentalSustainability #SteelProduction #Innovation

Our world is in a climate emergency, with more carbon dioxide in our atmosphere than at any time in human history. How can brass rod be part of the solution? Did you know that machining brass requires about 50% less energy than steel, resulting in lower operational carbon emissions? This adds up when you consider the tens of millions of precision-machined and forged parts produced each year in the U.S. alone. Brass is also incredibly durable, lasting for years without needing replacements. Think about it: fewer replacements mean less waste and fewer resources used. And let's not forget about energy efficiency. Brass's excellent electrical and thermal conductivity makes it the ideal low-loss solution where heat and power transfer are key. This translates to lower energy consumption and reduced carbon emissions in rapidly growing sectors like data centers and electric vehicles. Every choice counts, and together, we can make a difference when we #ChooseBrass, #TheSustainableChoice. https://lnkd.in/d6beVJr8

SSAB has received a permit from the Land and Environmental Court in Umeå to build and operate a mini-mill in Luleå, Sweden, that will replace the current steel plant. #transformation #environment #permit #steelmaking #metal #construction #steelindustry #operation #manufacturing #decarbonization #sustainability https://lnkd.in/eNfrsvTs
