Seminar: Do Better Things! – What we all can do to help in the difficult steel transition
February 21 @ 1:30 pm - 2:30 pm
As the effects of global warming become more apparent, the push to decarbonize will gain more and more traction globally.
Businesses are working to manage this along with the many other drivers that create value for customers. This is no different for the steel industry who is working to juggle these new demands. This talk will focus on what we can do now to improve our most carbon-intensive assets; our blast furnaces, cutting carbon while we are also cutting costs to set an international example.
