Low Emission Steelmaking

This collaborative R&D program was aimed at the development of breakthrough technologies to enable the steel industry to cut its GHG emission by over 50%. We identified the most effective and economical methods for reducing the net CO2 emissions by 50% or more for the Australian steel industry through a life cycle approach.
