Logistics teams are the invisible force that keeps steel supply chains running smoothly. Today, the industry faces growing challenges: market volatility, sustainability pressures, and the shift from manual processes to digital operations. Logistics teams are not just keeping up, they are leading the transformation.

The global metals and mining industry faces a complex dilemma. Governments and other stakeholders want increases in the essential raw materials required for the energy transition while also pressuring companies to reduce their environmental footprint. In an increasingly volatile world, companies must balance these two aims while embracing opportunities and delivering business value.

In November 2024, the Industrial Transition Accelerator (ITA) unveiled its Green Demand Policy Playbook , a comprehensive guide showcasing the most effective government policy interventions to drive demand for low-carbon and near-zero carbon industrial products. Alongside this initiative, more than 50 global business and finance leaders, as well as coalitions representing over 1,000 companies and financial institutions—including the Glasgow Financial Alliance for Net Zero (GFANZ)—endorsed the ITA’s open letter urging governments to implement a diverse range of policy measures to stimulate demand. The letter emphasizes that the optimal policy mix will depend on the unique circumstances of each country and sector. We were thrilled to sit down with Marc Moutinho, Brazil Country Lead for the ITA, to delve deeper into these efforts and explore their implications for Brazil’s green transition.

In an exclusive interview with Green Steel World, Dr. Eugene McKenna, Senior Vice President of Hydrogen and Sustainable Technologies at Johnson Matthey, sheds light on the evolving hydrogen industry. He explores the numerous challenges and opportunities it presents across various sectors, including steel, and highlights Johnson Matthey’s significant role in shaping this transformative landscape.

The climate crisis remains one of the most urgent challenges of our time and COP 29, the latest iteration of the United Nations climate conference, provided a mixed picture of progress. While the conference took stock of the barriers to meaningful action ahead of the tenth anniversary of the Paris Agreement in 2025, it also demonstrated the complex realities of international negotiations in a world where political, economic and environmental interests often collide.

Since its discovery in the early 20th century, stainless steel has revolutionized industry after industry. Now, as attention turns toward making metal more sustainable, its impact is far from over. The same pursuits and innovations that led to stainless steel are driving modern alloys toward a greener future.

In an exclusive interview with Green Steel World, Mr. Harsh Choudhry delves into how sentra.world is leveraging advanced technologies to drive sustainability in the steel industry.

David Busstra, Commercial Manager Circularity, at Tata Steel Nederland, explores sustainable trends in steel production, highlighting electric arc furnaces (EAFs) and direct reduced iron (DRI) processes. These technologies lower emissions, making them key to decarbonizing steel, especially in Europe. Tata Steel’s "Zeremis Recycled" product exemplifies this shift, targeting recycled content while reducing emissions. The role of scrap steel is crucial for circularity, reinforced by EU regulations like the Waste Shipment Regulation, which prioritizes recycling within the EU to retain alloying elements and reduce environmental impact.

In an era marked by scepticism over the feasibility of the green transition, any sign of progress offers a much-needed sense of hope. While many grapple with finding the right solutions, companies like Tenova are not just believers in the shift to sustainability—they are at the forefront of driving this transformation for themselves and their clients. We had the privilege of speaking with Mr. Roberto Pancaldi, CEO of Tenova, who provided insightful perspectives on how the company is reshaping the mining and metals industries to foster a more sustainable future.
