Hyundai’s Tainted Steel
The steel industry is one of the world’s largest contributors to climate change, responsible for approximately 7% of global greenhouse gas emissions and 11% of carbon dioxide emissions. The vast majority of these emissions come from coal-fired blast furnaces used in primary steel production, a process that remains deeply entrenched in the industry. Automakers, as the third-largest consumers of steel globally, have an opportunity to drive the steel industry to cleaner alternatives.
