Data Insights by 2050 Materials: Embodied Emissions of Steel across different countries
The chart from 2050 Materials provides a comparative analysis of embodied emissions for steel products across various countries, measured in A1-A3 emissions per kilogram. The data reveals a broad spectrum of emissions, with significant disparities evident among the nations. Sweden stands out with minimal to zero emissions, showcasing its advanced environmental practices in steel production. Conversely, Austria records the highest emissions, indicating a substantial environmental burden associated with its steel industry.
This variation underscores the differing levels of efficiency and sustainability in steel manufacturing worldwide. Countries like the United States and Norway exhibit lower emissions, reflecting their strides in cleaner production technologies. On the other end of the spectrum, nations such as India and the Netherlands show higher emissions, pointing to a reliance on more carbon-intensive processes. These insights highlight the critical need for global alignment on emission reduction strategies in the steel sector to mitigate its substantial contribution to climate change.
