THE RACE TO GREEN STEEL IS ON!
Steel production is a major source of toxic air and water pollution and a top driver of climate change thanks to its heavy reliance on coal. Consumers are looking to major companies to build better, more sustainable products, and at less than 1% more for the cost of the average vehicle, automakers can meet that demand.
It’s not a matter of if, but when, the first car made with green steel will reach the market, delivering benefits up and down the supply chain.
Who will win the race to green steel?
Taking Coal out of Cars
Primary steel made with coal accounts for 90% of the steel industry’s emissions today, but there are ways to make this essential material free from heavily polluting practices that harm local communities and the global climate. By purchasing fossil-free, American-made steel, automakers can deliver cleaner air and slash supply chain emissions while growing family-sustaining American jobs.
We must start now to secure a domestic supply of affordable green steel.
-
The amount of near-zero-emissions steel already in demand for use in auto manufacturing by 2030.
-
The average added cost to a vehicle by incorporating green steel according to ArcelorMittal CEO Aditya Mittal.
-
