Steel industry emissions worldwide

Statistics report on global steel industry emissions

Steel is one of the most widely used materials globally, but its production is incredibly carbon-intensive. One of the so called "hard-to-abate" sectors, the steel industry releases more than two billion tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere every year, accounting for around seven percent of global emissions.

This report presents a selection of statistics and facts about global emissions from the steel industry. It provides figures on steel production and associated emissions, the most polluting steel producing countries and facilities, as well as an outlook for the industry.
