Organizer: Rintaro Ueji（Thermomechanical Processing Group）, Akinobu Shibata（Steel Research Group）
Abstract:
The global steel industry is intensely focused on decarbonization and production of “green steel.” The context may vary somewhat in different regions of the world, and this presentation will provide some background and perspective on decarbonization activities in the United States. Highlights of some private and public efforts in the USA to reduce carbon emissions of the steel industry will be summarized, along with a few activities of the Advanced Steel Processing and Products Research Center at Mines to support these objectives.
