steel

“Steel is like eight percent of global carbon emissions. It's three times aviation.”

“They're already the third largest source of industrial greenhouse gas emissions behind steel and cement.”

“It takes more steel. It takes more cement to build a wind farm than it does on, on a, you know, a normalized basis that the amount of material to produce a gigawatt hour, say of energy per year it, you know, we're on the order of probably something like seven …”

“It's responsible for something on the order of six to eight percent of global greenhouse gas emissions, right up with steel for the largest source of industrial emissions in the world.”

“And that's even before you start thinking about, are we going to build solar to make hydrogen? And I suspect that by 2030 we are, just because we've got no idea how else to manage the problems of intermittency and how to decarbonize steel and fertilizer.”

“India's largest source of emissions growth. It's not coal power. It's steel, iron and steel.”

“Steel, aluminum, cement, chemicals, aviation, shipping, and trucking. Add them up, and they represent about a third of global greenhouse gas emissions, and they're the sectors where the existing, fully commercialized, mature, and ready-to-deploy technology wil…”

“In all of our different sectors now, cement, steel maybe not aviation fuels entirely, in almost all of our sectors, it is now as inexpensive to build the clean alternative as it is the dirty one, thanks to the IRA.”

“Every metal besides steel requires more energy to make it than steel does”

“So if you look at, like, the total process Of the iron making and the steel making together for a vet, just like a very typical conventional blast furnace facility, you're usually going to end up with more than two tons of CO two per ton of steel, which is kin…”

“Steel is actually the most recycled material of all, full stop.”

“When people do studies on these type of thing, they typically find that buildings use between 50 and a hundred percent more structural material than is required to comply with building codes, and they do that because the structural material, mainly steel and c…”

“It's a much smaller market than any of the others I just mentioned, I should note, but the demand growth trajectory is also steeper, and it's got all the makings of a super volatile commodity landscape.”

“In the greatest hits album of electrochemistry, you'd have a lot of tracks focused on batteries, for sure, and for good reason. But there are deeper cuts, too, and some new music with pretty extraordinary potential. Anyway, think tracks on cement and steel and…”

“In a system where if we just exclude the battery for the minute it's most, it's basically half steel, and then you've got about a quarter is your powertrain. And then about a little less than a quarter is your marine coatings, and then you've got other, you kn…”
