1 iron and SteelTechnology RoadmapTowards more sustainable steelmakingPart of the Energy Technology Perspectives seriesIron and Steel Technology Roadmap Towards more sustainable steelmaking The IEA examines the full spectrum of energy issues including oil, gas and coal supply and demand, renewable energy technologies, electricity markets, energy efficiency, access to energy, demand side management and much more. Through its work, the IEA advocates policies that will enhance the reliability, affordability and sustainability of energy in its 30 member countries, 8 association countries and note that this publication is subject to specific restrictions that limit its use and distribution.

3 Meeting this demand presents challenges for the iron and Steel sector as it seeks to plot a more sustainable pathway while remaining competitive. The sector is currently responsible for about 8% of global final energy demand and 7% of energy sector CO2 emissions (including process emissions). However, through innovation, low-carbon Technology deployment and resource efficiency, iron and Steel producers have a major opportunity to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions, develop more sustainable products and enhance their competitiveness. This report explores the technologies and strategies necessary for the iron and Steel sector to pursue a pathway compatible with the IEA s broader vision of a more sustainable energy sector.

4 Considering both the challenges and the opportunities, it analyses the key technologies and processes that would enable substantial CO2 emission reductions in the sector. It also assesses the potential for resource efficiency, including increased reuse, recycling and demand reduction. Realising this more sustainable trajectory will require co-ordinated efforts from key stakeholders, including Steel producers, governments, financial partners and the research community. As such, the publication concludes with an outline of priority actions, policies and milestones for these stakeholders to accelerate progress towards zero emissions from the iron and Steel sector.

The study was designed and directed by Timur G l (Head of the Energy Technology Policy Division). The analysis and production of the report was co-ordinated by Araceli Fernandez Pales and Peter Levi. The main authors were Sara Budinis, Peter Levi, Hana Mandov and Tiffany Vass. Several colleagues from across the agency contributed analytical input, including Julien Armijo, Kathleen Gaffney, Alexandre Gouy, Luca Lo Re, Francesco Pavan, Uwe Remme, Marcela Ruiz de Chavez Velez, Hugo Salamanca and Andreas Schr der.

6 Valuable comments and feedback were provided by Keisuke Sadamori and Mechthild W rsd rfer. Astha Gupta, Sree Sanyal, Siddharth Singh, Tristan Stanley and Nicole Thomas of the India desk facilitated engagement with Indian stakeholders. Thanks also go to Jad Mouawad, Head of the IEA Communications and Digital Office (CDO), and to CDO colleagues Jon Custer, Astrid Dumond, Tanya Dyhin, Christopher Gully, Maria Kyriacou, Jethro Mullen, Isabelle Nonain-Semelin, Julie Puech and Therese Walsh for their help in producing and disseminating the report. Diana Louis and Per-Anders Widell provided essential support. Justin French-Brooks carried responsibility for editing.

7 The work could not have been carried out without the support provided by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi), and activities within the IEA Clean Energy Transitions Programme1 provided valuable support to this analysis. The World Steel Association provided valuable feedback and support throughout the project, in particular by facilitating communication with its member companies, and national and regional Steel associations. The Association also provided analytical feedback during the modelling phase and submitted detailed comments during the peer review process. 1 The IEA Clean Energy Transitions Programme (CETP) leverages the IEA s unique energy expertise across all fuels and technologies to accelerate global clean-energy transitions, particularly in major emerging economies.

8 CETP activities include collaborative analytical work, technical co-operation, training and capacity building and strategic dialogues. Further details can be found at: IEA. All rights and Steel Technology Roadmap Acknowledgements Towards more sustainable steelmaking PAGE | 5 The analysis and findings in this report draw on strategic guidance received during the IEA kick-off workshop with leading Steel experts and key stakeholders from industry, government and the research community in Paris on 20 November 2017. Several experts regional dialogue meetings followed to gather regional perspectives in Asia (23-24 May 2018) and the Americas (22 August 2018).

9 Additional guidance came from an policy experts workshop, co-hosted by the IEA and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), which brought together leading international experts from industry, governments, multilateral development banks, foundations and the research community, which took place in Paris on 29 March 2019. We would like to thank the EBRD, Baosteel and Alecero for their assistance in facilitating these workshops. Many experts from outside the IEA provided input, commented on the underlying analytical work and reviewed the report. Their comments and suggestions were of great value. They include.
