Imagine if every skyscraper, car, and bridge was built from materials that don't harm our planet. That is Green Steel, the new game in town for the steel industry. A world dealing with climate change has brought the aspect of the traditional steel-making process into question because it's notorious for its high carbon footprint. Here's what green steel is and why NS Epoxy emerged as a leading Green Steel Manufacturer in India.
Green steel marks the new way of making steel. In contrast to conventional methods that rely mostly on coal, green steel relies on renewable energy, therefore significantly lowering carbon emissions. The process often involves one hydrogen-based direct reduction, in which hydrogen takes the place of carbon in the reaction with iron ore, thereby producing only water vapour and not CO2. Furthermore, steel scrap can be melted by electric arc furnaces powered from clean sources of electricity, eliminating one more impact, making the environment lighter with steel that is not only friendlier to the environment but also possibly of greater quality because it's cleaner in production.
The steel industry is responsible for nearly 8% of greenhouse gas emissions worldwide, ranking it as one of the largest industrial polluters. Why the push for Green Steel is urgent:
Environmental Impact: Transitioning to green steel would reduce CO2 emissions by significant amounts. It aligns with global sustainability goals set by the Paris Agreement and limits global warming.
Sustainability Goals: Nations and companies have bold net-zero targets. Making steel, an essential part of current infrastructure, green has the role of helping with achieving this goal without compromising our planet.
Economic Advantages: Investing in the production of green steel helps drive innovation, creates jobs, and sets a company like NS Epoxy at the forefront of the globe's sustainability material market.
Consumer Demand: Consumers increasingly look for products that leave a smaller footprint on the environment. Green steel can fulfil this need and thus offer producers an opportunity to reach environmentally aware consumers.
Regulatory Push: Regulation, such as the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, gives steel producers the best possible incentive to pursue cleaner technologies.
