We cannot lower carbon emissions if we keep producing steel with fossil fuels.

How else do u suppose we make steel?
what about giving up on steel and moving into something more ‘vintage’, like clay @_@
That’s fundamentally different from steel. We don’t really have an alternative currently. You could use something like aluminium but that’s not environmentally friendly either (in the initial production, for recycling it’s great).
Use renewable and clean energy sources to produce electricity then make steel with induction heater or other forms of electricity-based heat?
Coal is required for steel, electricty-based heat would only work to lower carbon emissions (especially when recycling steel since you don’t need coal there), but you couldn’t prevent them.
“… Only work to lower carbon emissions” But thats exactly the point, that it is high emissions now.
