Brazil is positioned to become a global leader in green iron exports due to its abundant renewable energy, which can make hydrogen-based direct reduction (H2-DRI) steel production up to 65% cheaper than in other countries.

This research paper examines the impact of existing primary steel production equipment on global greenhouse gas emissions and argues that the emissions commitment of this infrastructure is lower than previously estimated, shifting the focus of decarbonization toward the deployment of new technologies and demand reduction.

This policy brief by the Stockholm Environment Institute discusses the role of the G7 in decarbonizing the steel industry, noting that steelmaking accounts for approximately 8% of global CO2 emissions annually.
