## Resource

Steel production accounts for about 7 percent of global CO2 emissions, but a quiet revolution is underway. In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore how green hydrogen-based steelmaking is moving from pilot plants to commercial scale, with a focus on Sweden's HYBRIT project and the emerging market for 'green steel' premiums. They break down the economics: why a ton of fossil-free steel costs roughly 20 to 30 percent more to produce today, how the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism will change the math for importers, and which industries—like automotive and construction—are already signing offtake agreements. The hosts also discuss the role of carbon credits in bridging the cost gap before the technology scales. No hype, just the numbers reshaping the world's most emissions-intensive industrial material. #GreenSteel #CarbonMarket #HYBRIT #IndustrialDecarbonization #HydrogenSteelmaking #CBAM #SteelEmissions #ClimatePolicy #CarbonCredits #CleanTech #SustainableManufacturing #SteelIndustry #Economics #ClimateEconomics #Decarbonization #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #ClimateEconomicsPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
