Scientists at MIT found a way to create electric steelmaking, allowing them to create steel using electricity instead of coal.

Steelmaking is an important part of our global industries. However, the process by which we make steel is extremely bad for the climate, with the byproducts of the process accounting for roughly seven to nine percent of humanity’s greenhouse gas emissions. That’s why former scientists from MIT created a company to come up with a better way that relies on electric steelmaking instead.

This means it would drastically cut back on the amount of greenhouse gas emissions that steelmaking causes, and because it is scaleable to a commercial level, it could actually make a difference in the fight against climate change. Researchers have been looking for a way to use an electrochemical process to push steelmaking for years. However, it has never been scaleable to a commercial level. That changes with the new technique that Boston Metal relies on.
