Mighty Earth reacts to US Steel agreement to supply General Motors with sustainable steel.

NGOs Support New Standard to Address 8% of World’s Climate Pollution.

Will world leaders show the necessary vision and political will to make heavy industry decarbonization a reality?

Automakers increasingly recognize that reducing the carbon footprint of their products must go beyond electrification and address the use of steel in their products.

The global steel production sector made an important symbolic move toward tackling its massive carbon emission problem with ArcelorMittal’s unveiling of a new decarbonization initiative

The first of its kind, a global framework to call upon policymakers to decarbonize their heavy industries as part of COVID-19 economic recovery plans has been released today.

Yesterday, President Eiji Hashimoto of Japan’s Nippon Steel released a plan to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. This announcement comes shortly after similar 2050 carbon neutrality pledges were made by Japanese Prime Minister Yoshihide Suga, as well as the world’s largest steel company, ArcelorMittal.

The world’s biggest steel company says it wants to be carbon neutral - here are the steps to get there.

High-profile moves toward decarbonization from two of the top three steel companies indicate a significant shift in the industry's approach to climate change.

The International Energy Agency has squandered its unique opportunity to set the stage for the decarbonization of steel.

As the largest steel company in the world, ArcelorMittal is responsible for close to one percent of all climate pollution. We welcome ArcelorMittal's pledge to become carbon neutral by 2050 as an important step toward addressing the outsized impact of the steel industry and a critical victory for climate and the environment.

Industrial decarbonization needs to be a top green recovery priority, full stop. We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to tie the recovery of these industries to technologies that reduce carbon emissions.

Proposal for an EU-funded vehicle renewal scheme would likely increase car ownership and could pose serious public health risks

Steel and concrete industries targeted by their top customers for dramatic GHG emissions reductions in next ten years

ResponsibleSteel's Executive Director calls Mighty Earth "critical" in development of new standard

Steel is currently the largest source of industrial carbon emissions.

We are going to need all kinds of technical solutions -- like EC3 -- to reduce embodied carbon from construction.

Switching to clean electricity is good for business, good for the climate, and good for clean energy jobs.

The global architecture community is coming together to embrace an exciting vision

Without urgent action immediately, embodied carbon will be responsible for at least half of total new construction emissions between now and 2050. There is no time to lose.

Top 20 companies are not on pace to hit critical emissions reductions needed for 1.5-degree threshold

Environmental organization joins ResponsibleSteel, which will set standards and certification plans for industry by 2020

The largest steelmaker in the world, ArcelorMittal, which is responsible for approximately 0.7 percent of all global carbon emissions, has set a goal of achieving carbon-neutral operations in Europe by 2050.

As the heavy industry sector makes progress on emissions, steel is a notable laggard

This pledge from Skanska UK demonstrates that there are clear pathways to achieving zero emissions in the construction sector and, by proxy, in the heavy industrial sector

Today during Nucor Corporation's (NUE) annual meeting of stockholders, investors and media are likely to hear highlights of the "record year" that the company had in 2018: record earnings, high performing stock price, leadership in key markets, and new facilities.

Announcement indicates growing momentum in the fight to decarbonize heavy industry. For the second time in this month, a top-heavy industrial company announced a major clean energy contract for one of their facilities. 

Two exciting and unprecedented climate announcements were made by the world's largest steel company this week, ArcelorMittal.

Today, at the largest conference in the U.S. dedicated to green building, Mighty Earth released a new report exposing the enormous carbon footprint of steel used in green construction. The global steel industry emits 2.3 gigatons of carbon dioxide each year – equivalent to the emissions from 569 coal plants

Earlier this week, more than 30 people gathered at Birdsong Brewing in Charlotte, NC for the launch of Stainless: The 100% Clean Energy Steel Campaign.

Today, a first of its kind new report analyzing the opportunities for the steel sector to take climate action. The report shows that no company is better positioned to radically change the steel sector than North Carolina’s Nucor Corporation (NUE)
