London, UK – The global green steel market is projected for substantial expansion, with forecasts indicating a rise from $7.4 billion in 2024 to $19.4 billion by 2029, achieving a compound annual growth rate of 21.4%. This surge is primarily driven by increasing societal pressures for sustainable practices, ambitious CO2 emission reduction targets, and a growing demand for eco-friendly products from both consumers and corporations. Â
Green steel, which significantly reduces carbon emissions by replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy and green hydrogen, is critical for decarbonizing the steel industry, a sector currently responsible for 7-9% of global CO2 emissions.Despite this optimistic outlook, challenges persist, including higher production costs, the need for extensive infrastructure upgrades, and the limited availability of green hydrogen. Â
