SMU Summit: Challenges and Opportunities for a New Carbon Frontier

The global steel decarbonization challenge is immense but uneven, argued Philip Bell, Steel Manufacturers Association’s (SMA) president, during a 2022 SMU Steel Summit Conference panel addressing the challenges and opportunities a new carbon frontier poses on the domestic steel industry.

“One of the most important things to emphasize from a US steelmaker perspective is that although the EU has been leading the world when it comes to decarbonization policies, reform, and regulations, it doesn’t lead the world in producing low-carbon steel,” said Bell.
