August 8, 2025
Southeast Asia’s steel sector can transition to low-carbon production through gradual investments in clean technologies, such as scrap-fed electric arc furnaces and hydrogen-based direct reduced iron. Compared to the current trajectory, this path would avoid 120 Mt CO₂ by 2040 and strengthen local industrial resilience while enhancing competitiveness against low-cost import and carbon border tariffs.
