Steel production is set to become more environmentally compatible than ever before. In this session of Pioneers Talk, Gerald Wimmer and Tom Widter discuss how to “green” the integrated production route, which relies on two of the main emitters of CO2 in the process chain—the blast furnace and the basic oxygen furnace. Other topics include the trend toward electric steelmaking, the increasing relevance of direct-reduced iron, and new solutions in the field of carbon capture and storage.
