Renforth et al. (2024): Carbon dioxide removal could result in the use of lower-grade iron ore in a decarbonized net-negative emission steel industry

Renforth P., Campbell J., Foteinis S., Cosgun E., Young J., Strunge T., Riley A.L., Mayes W.M., van der Spek M.W. IN: Journal of Cleaner Production, 142987, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jclepro.2024.142987

Reducing the emissions from steel production is essential in meeting climate targets while maintaining economic prosperity. Here, the authors show that applying deep emissions mitigation to the steel industry together with the reaction of by-product slag with atmospheric carbon dioxide could result in a carbon negative industry on the order of up to a GtCO₂ yr^-1 by mid-century.
