Market Overview

Green steel is produced through innovative techniques that reduce or eliminate the carbon emissions typically associated with traditional steelmaking. Leading production pathways include electric arc furnaces (EAFs) that use electricity-often from renewable sources-to melt Skrap steel, and hydrogen‐based direct reduction methods that substitute fossil fuels with green hydrogen to reduce iron ore. These approaches not only reduce carbon emissions but also support circular economy principles by maximizing recycling and renewable energy integration.

Among production technologies, electric arc furnaces hold the largest share, accounting for approximately 54% of the green steel market in 2026, due to mature technology, scalability, and integration with renewable power systems. Automotive and transportation industries lead demand for green steel, capturing nearly 38% of end‐use share, reflecting automakers' commitments to lower lifecycle emissions and sustainable supply chains.

Key Demand Drivers
1. Decarbonization Targets and Regulatory Pressure

Global climate commitments and stricter emissions regulations are motivating steel producers to adopt greener production methods, including investments in low‐carbon technologies.

2. Corporate Sustainability Commitments

Industries such as automotive, construction, and heavy equipment are prioritizing low‐carbon steel in their supply chains to reduce scope 3 emissions and strengthen ESG performance.

3. Innovation in Clean Production Technologies

Advances in hydrogen‐based steelmaking, electric furnace systems, carbon capture, and renewable energy integration are enhancing feasibility and cost-effectiveness of green steel.

4. Circular Economy and Recycling Integration

Green steel production integrates with recycling strategies, reducing dependence on raw materials and lowering carbon footprints. Skrap steel fed through electric arc furnaces complements low‐carbon production.
