SMU Spotlight: CRU's Paul Butterworth talks EAFs, CBAM, and decarbonization

Last month, I traveled to Sweden for the CRU Steel Decarbonisation Summit in Stockholm. I wanted to see if the European take on decarbonization broadly differed from what we are talking about here in the US. How will they get there? What is their view of the US industry? I was lucky enough to sit through an Energy Transition Session, which included a presentation entitled “Powering Transition: Energy, Technology, Infrastructure.” I found an interesting perspective in it, perhaps not indicative of a “European” position, but a unique one nonetheless. Luckily, the presenter, Paul Butterworth, turned out to be a colleague at SMU’s parent company, CRU.
