Steel is one of the essential drivers of infrastructure development, urbanization, and industrialization of any country. It plays a key role in economic expansion, contributing significantly to a country's gross domestic product (GDP). As demand for steel rises globally, there is a critical need to modernize existing capacities and develop new facilities. However, a significant challenge in the iron and steel industry is reducing carbon dioxide emissions, as they contribute about 7% of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions globally.

• In what ways can the low-emission direct reduction routes for iron be implemented across new and existing steel plants to reduce future emissions?
• How is the hydrogen-based direct reduction of iron process accelerating sustainable steelmaking and supporting the growth of the hydrogen economy?
  
• What growth strategies can your organization adopt to assess the carbon footprint of steelmaking pathways and explore the role of hydrogen in reducing emissions from the iron and steelmaking industry?
