​Steel has become an essential material in our modern world. But the steel making industry is responsible for 7% of all global greenhouse gas emissions. That has to be reduced by at least 60% by 2050 if we are to meet our net carbon zero targets. A solution has been found though, and it replaces carbon with hydrogen. The question is, can it be scaled up quickly enough?

Errata : Apologies for the formula on screen at 6:50 – the letter z should of course have been a number 2 and the Fe203 and H2 numbers should be subscripts. Sadly my 52 year old eyes are getting worse every day, and I missed these errors!
