Race to Green Steel calls on automakers to switch to low-carbon steel (gmk.center)

A coalition of non-profit organizations has launched the Race to Green Steel campaign to encourage automakers to use green steel in their cars. This is stated on the initiative’s websit

DuMost automakers have already pledged to reduce emissions from their supply chains. At least two major U.S. companies, Ford and General Motors, have signed contracts to supply low-carbon steel. Mercedes-Benz and Volvo have also signed preliminary agreements to purchase green steel produced at the plants being built in Sweden by SSAB and H2 Green Steel.

The Race to Green Steel campaign aims to build on previous efforts by automakers in this area and increase pressure on the steel industry to build facilities that run on hydrogen or renewable energy

.In particular, the initiative proposes that automakers assess the environmental impact of the steel products they currently use and commit to purchasing at least 10% low-carbon steel by 2030."
