Gestamp signed an agreement with SSAB to deliver fossil-free steel for body-in-white and chassis system products. This partnership is a further step in Gestamp’s ESG strategy related to the circular economy that the company is applying throughout its business model.

According to the World Economic Forum, the demand for steel is bound to increase by more than a third by 2050. Along with steel´s importance for core infrastructure, we must acknowledge its importance in achieving a global transition to a clean energy economy and zero-emission targets. New Zealand (Aotearoa) is actively participating in this transition. The GSW editorial team had the opportunity to talk to Dr. Troy Coyle, CEO of HERA, a New Zealand-based independent research association that supports research in heavy engineering with a focus on structural steel. To have a better grasp of HERA´s mission and New Zealand´s potential for decarbonisation, Green Steel World sat down with Dr. Coyle for an informative conversation.

To support their goals of emission reduction by 2030, the study will focus on lowering CSC’s carbon footprint through operational improvements and technology-related changes at the Kaohsiung site in Taiwan.

It is common knowledge that producing steel is highly carbon intensive. According to the most recent International Energy Agency reports, global steel production continues to be dominated by conventional process routes. Significant changes in steel production pathways are needed to stay true to the net zero goals. While many stakeholders may have turned their attention to the implementation of (green) hydrogen, CCU, and CCS, another viable solution might be waiting just around the corner: biocoke.
