Under a stated policies scenario, global carbon dioxide emissions from iron and steel production and manufacturing are projected to fall by around ** percent between 2030 and 2050 to *** billion metric tons (GtCOâ‚‚). Under the IEA's Announced Pledges Scenario, in which all climate commitments, Nationally Determined Contributions, and longer-term net zero targets are met, COâ‚‚ emissions from iron and steel would fall by almost ** percent by 2050, to around *** GtCOâ‚‚. Neither scenario would be aligned with reaching net zero emissions by 2050.
