It's fascinating how we still have scopes of innovation in some of the oldest industries. The zero-emission aspect of hydrogen-based steel production gives a contemporary shift to the old manufacturing industry.
Steel manufacturing seemed too old-fashioned for innovation, but this video proves otherwise. It's amazing how any process can be transformed - Anh Pham -
The evolution of steel production is an interesting one! Starting from the discovery of iron ore and advancing through various innovative processes, such as the basic oxygen and electric arc furnaces, highlighting how these advancements have improved the quality, and sustainability in steelmaking while also addressing the significant environmental impact of traditional methods.

I didn't think you could find innovation in steel manufacturing because of how old it is, this makes me think you could do innovate any process. Especially like how the video covered current leaders, seems it's big in Europe!
I love seeing innovation introduced into such a mature and "proven" technology such as making steel. Much like oil, the world runs on steel and that probably isn't going to significantly change any time soon. Whatever we can do to reduce the environmental impact of making it should be considered a big win. James
Innovation in material extraction and manufacturing is limited due to various industry restrictions. While pursuing my chemical engineering this was something we discussed about. To see some progress in this field is motivating - well done with the video
This is quite fascinating. Steel companies are one of the highest pollutants in the world. Knowing there is green steel manufacturing means organizations can be more innovative in the drive towards zero carbon emission.
Informative video. Its amazing to me how many sustainable innovations exist already but the business environment still favours profits/operations over planet
Great point! I've always thought that the argument for sustainable innovations not being profitable was weak and I believe this is argument gets weaker as there are fewer but larger companies controlling the overall economy.
