A decarbonised steel industry that includes carbon dioxide removal techniques in its net zero arsenal could use lower-grade iron ore, according to a new study.<\/h2>\n
Steel accounts for 5-8% of carbon dioxide emissions globally, and its total emissions have risen over the past decade due to increased demand.<\/p>\n
The International Energy Agency has stated that, without innovation, the scope to limit emissions is \u2018limited\u2019.<\/p>\n
Therefore, the commercialisation of new zero-emission production processes, such as lower-grade iron ore, is critical.<\/p>\n
