Evraz NA's Shaw: Decarbonization Not an ‘Us vs. Them’ Proposition
Written by Tim Triplett
Evraz is a major supplier of plate and tubular goods for the traditional oil and gas markets. At the same time, it is a leader in the use of renewable energy, with an electric arc furnace mill in Pueblo, Colo., powered primarily by solar. Jefferson Shaw, vice president of strategy for Evraz North America, sees no contradiction in the two. Cutting greenhouse gas emissions is not an “us vs. them” – oil versus solar – proposition, he said during Wednesday’s SMU Community Chat. “Starting with our customers in the [oil and gas] business, many are leading the charge toward hydrogen, solar or carbon capture, so we need them in the conversation.”
