SMA President Philip K. Bell represented the domestic steel industry today in support of the bipartisan PROVE IT Act. The bill will collect the critical product-level emission data necessary to prove to the world what we already know to be true -- that the American steel industry produces the highest quality, lowest emission steel found anywhere in the world. We look forward to working with U.S. Senator Chris C***s and Senator Kevin Cramer to pass this important legislation. And we are grateful to the host of today's event, Climate Leadership Council President Greg Bertelsen, and the other participants for their leadership.

“We have an existing and proven way that’s fully commercialized and done on a large scale to make lower-carbon steel,” SMA President Philip K. Bell told Marketplace Morning Report as part of a segment on reducing carbon emissions associated with steel production. It aired May 22 on National Public Radio stations around the country.

Phil was referring, of course, to electric arc furnace, or EAF, steelmaking, which uses electricity to turn ferrous scrap into new steel. Today, more than 70 percent of American steel is made that way, and that share is expected to grow.

The Marketplace Morning Report story included positive comments about the Global Steel Climate Council, an international coalition of steel producers and stakeholders committed to achieving a 1.5-degree scenario by the year 2050 and establishing a global steel standard that leads toward a cleaner future. The GSCC Steel Climate Standard is available online now for review and public comment.

If you use renewable energy to make hydrogen and use the hydrogen to manufacture steel, the process would be friendlier to the environment.
