Project Overview

The steel industry is a central focus due to its substantial CO₂ emissions – 2.6 gigatonnes annually, equivalent to 7% of global energy-related emissions – making the adoption of decarbonisation technologies especially critical.

The project has three main objectives:

• Identify and implement decarbonisation strategies suitable for Asia.
• Develop a long-term outlook for the future of steel industry decarbonisation and produce and guidelines for planning, implementation, and evaluation.
• Disseminate findings through international collaboration and workshops.

Phase 1 activities include:

• conducting data analysis to support the Asia Steel Decarbonisation Outlook,
• drafting guidelines based on plant-level assessments, and
• gathering regional perspectives through seminars in ASEAN and India.

The overall aim is to promote economic growth alongside environmental sustainability, fostering a shared understanding between governments and industry stakeholders.
