It's a wonder material we use every day – and single-handedly responsible for more than 7% of climate change. But the solutions to clean up the steel industry are still in the early stages. How can we make green steel? Credits: Reporter: Ajit Niranjan Video Editor: Nils Reinecke Supervising editor: Kiyo Dörrer We're destroying our environment at an alarming rate. But it doesn't need to be this way. Our new channel Planet A explores the shift towards an eco-friendly world — and challenges our ideas about what dealing with climate change means. We look at the big and the small: What we can do and how the system needs to change. Every Friday we'll take a truly global look at how to get us out of this mess. #PlanetA #Steel #Hydrogen Read more: Decarbonizing the steel industry: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S2214629622000706 A roadmap for decarbonizing steel: https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/eb0c8ec1-3665-4959-97d0-187ceca189a8/Iron_and_Steel_Technology_Roadmap.pdf Climate-friendly steel solutions: https://static.agora-energiewende.de/fileadmin/Projekte/2021/2021-06_IND_INT_GlobalSteel/A-EW_236_Global-Steel-at-a-Crossroads_WEB_V2.pdf A techno-economic analysis of decarbonizing steel: https://www.mattech-journal.org/articles/mattech/pdf/2021/03/mt210047.pdf Net-zero emissions by 2050: https://iea.blob.core.windows.net/assets/deebef5d-0c34-4539-9d0c-10b13d840027/NetZeroby2050-ARoadmapfortheGlobalEnergySector_CORR.pdf Chapters: 00:00 Introduction 00:38 Where steel comes from 02:09 Why steelmaking is dirty 04:01 How hydrogen helps 07:54 Can't we just recycle? 09:16 Capturing carbon 11:04 Conclusion
