The document calls for financial institutions to stop supporting new metallurgical coal mines and to require steel companies to adopt decarbonization targets. It highlights that steel plants in several European countries were among the highest CO2 emitters in 2019 and suggests that hydrogen and electric arc furnaces powered by renewables are viable paths toward decarbonization.

  • Most financial policies currently limiting services to the coal sector only cover thermal coal used for electricity, excluding metallurgical coal used for steel production.
  • In 2019, steel plants in France, the United Kingdom, Spain, Austria, the Netherlands, Finland, and Slovakia were the highest CO2-emitting installations in those respective countries. In France, emissions from Arcelor Mittal's steelworks and blast furnaces significantly exceed those of coal-fired power plants.
  • Decarbonizing steel production is possible through the use of hydrogen as a long-term solution, demonstration projects like Hybrit, and the use of electric arc furnaces (EAF) powered by renewable electricity for recycled steel.
