A report suggests carbon capture, utilisation, and storage (CCUS) will not significantly aid global steel decarbonisation due to low capture rates and high costs. The steel industry, accounting for 8% of CO2 emissions, struggles with limited commercial-scale CCUS progress for blast furnace decarbonisation. The shift to DRI-based steelmaking on green hydrogen diminishes CCUS appeal, especially in Europe and developing Asia.
