The global steel industry stands at a critical crossroads. Responsible for 7-9% of global CO2 emissions, steelmakers face mounting pressure to transform as climate regulations tighten and market demands evolve. This IDTechEx report examines how the industry is responding to these challenges through 2035, analyzing both incremental improvements to existing processes and innovative production methods using hydrogen and clean electricity.
 
Steel's carbon challenge & evolution to green steel
The traditional blast furnace-basic oxygen furnace (BF-BOF) production route uses coking coal as both fuel and reducing agent, making it highly carbon intensive. Evolving regulations and the global push towards sustainability are influencing the steel market, mounting pressure on steelmakers to decarbonize.
 
Natural gas-based direct reduced iron (NG-DRI) production is already well-established in several regions. While NG-DRI has previously been limited to areas with cheap and abundant natural gas (e.g., Middle East), it is now seen as a transitional technology for reducing emissions. The industry is pursuing multiple decarbonization pathways simultaneously - from optimizing existing facilities through blast furnace modifications and CCUS integration to deploying new technologies. Hydrogen-based DRI (H2-DRI) powered by green hydrogen is emerging as the primary goal for the industry, with all major steelmakers looking to adopt this technology.
 
Hydrogen-based direct reduction technologies encompass multiple process variants. Midrex and Energiron are established shaft furnace technologies already widely used in NG-DRI, but newer fluidized bed and plasma reduction approaches are also emerging. Companies like Voestalpine, POSCO, and others are developing newer variants capable of consuming lower grade iron ore while simplifying overall production.

Green steel market evolution with key drivers and barriers for growth. Source: IDTechEx
 
Policy frameworks like the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) and Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) are creating economic pressure for steelmakers to adopt low-carbon technologies, while sectors such as automotive and construction increasingly demand greener materials. Major steelmakers are committing billions to technology development and hydrogen-ready production sites, with close to 100 million tonnes of hydrogen-ready production capacity announced globally by the mid-2030s. Most of these projects will start off using natural gas and all aim to eventually transition to low-carbon hydrogen.
 
The combination of large iron reserves and renewable energy potential could establish new iron and steel production hubs in regions such as Australia, Brazil, and Africa. Green hydrogen development is a key catalyst for green steel, though it will require supportive legislation and financial incentives to bring projects into commercial operation.

About IDTechEx reports

What are the qualifications of the people conducting IDTechEx research?

Content produced by IDTechEx is researched and written by our technical analysts, each with a PhD or master's degree in their specialist field, and all of whom are employees. All our analysts are well-connected in their fields, intensively covering their sectors, revealing hard-to-find information you can trust.

How does IDTechEx gather data for its reports?

By directly interviewing and profiling companies across the supply chain. IDTechEx analysts interview companies by engaging directly with senior management and technology development executives across the supply chain, leading to revealing insights that may otherwise be inaccessible.
 
Further, as a global team, we travel extensively to industry events and companies to conduct in-depth, face-to-face interviews. We also engage with industry associations and follow public company filings as secondary sources. We conduct patent analysis and track regulatory changes and incentives. We consistently build on our decades-long research of emerging technologies.
 
We assess emerging technologies against existing solutions, evaluate market demand and provide data-driven forecasts based on our models. This provides a clear, unbiased outlook on the future of each technology or industry that we cover.

What is your forecast methodology?

We take into account the following information and data points where relevant to create our forecasts:
  • Historic data, based on our own databases of products, companies' sales data, information from associations, company reports and validation of our prior market figures with companies in the industry.
  • Current and announced manufacturing capacities
  • Company production targets
  • Direct input from companies as we interview them as to their growth expectations, moderated by our analysts
  • Planned or active government incentives and regulations
  • Assessment of the capabilities and price of the technology based on our benchmarking over the forecast period, versus that of competitive solutions
  • Teardown data (e.g. to assess volume of materials used)
  • From a top-down view: the total addressable market
  • Forecasts can be based on an s-curve methodology where appropriate, taking into account the above factors
  • Key assumptions and discussion of what can impact the forecast are covered in the report.

How can I be confident about the quality of work in IDTechEx reports?

Based on our technical analysts and their research methodology, for over 25 years our work has regularly received superb feedback from our global clients. Our research business has grown year-on-year.
 
Recent customer feedback includes:
"It's my first go-to platform"
- Dr. Didi Xu, Head of Foresight - Future Technologies, Freudenberg Technology Innovation

What differentiates IDTechEx reports?

Our team of in-house technical analysts immerse themselves in industries over many years, building deep expertise and engaging directly with key industry players to uncover hard-to-find insights. We appraise technologies in the landscape of competitive solutions and then assess their market demand based on voice-of-the-customer feedback, all from an impartial point of view. This approach delivers exceptional value to our customers—providing high-quality independent content while saving customers time, resources, and money.

Why should we pick IDTechEx research over AI research?

A crucial value of IDTechEx research is that it provides information, assessments and forecasts based on interviews with key people in the industry, assessed by technical experts. AI is trained only on content publicly available on the web, which may not be reliable, in depth, nor contain the latest insights based on the experience of those actively involved in a technology or industry, despite the confident prose.

How can I justify the ROI of this report?

Consider the cost of the IDTechEx report versus the time and resources required to gather the same quality of insights yourself. IDTechEx analysts have built up an extensive contact network over many years; we invest in attending key events and interviewing companies around the world; and our analysts are trained in appraising technologies and markets.
 
Each report provides an independent, expert-led technical and market appraisal, giving you access to actionable information immediately, rather than you having to spend months or years on your own market research.

Can I speak to analysts about the report content?

All report purchases include up to 30 minutes of telephone time with an expert analyst who will help you link key findings in the report to the business issues you're addressing. This needs to be used within three months of purchasing the report.

What is the difference between a report and subscription?

A subscription from IDTechEx can include more reports, access to an online information platform with continuously updated information from our analysts, and access to analysts directly.

Before purchasing, I have some questions about the report, can I speak to someone?
