Global Steel Climate Council members avert more than 32.5M tons of emissions

Nine steel producers certified by the Global Steel Climate Council (GSCC) have avoided more than 32.5 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions between 2023 and 2025.

The GSCC said in a statement on Wednesday that the nine members certified under the Steel Climate Standard were “demonstrating significant, measurable progress toward decarbonizing one of the world’s most emissions-intensive industries.”

The cumulative avoided emissions are significant. They are equivalent to removing ~6.9 million gasoline-powered passenger vehicles from the road for one year.

GSCC is a non-profit organization advancing “a technology-neutral, globally applicable standard for reducing steel emissions.” It adopted its Steel Climate Standard in 2023.

Members include steel manufacturers, associations, and organizations across the entire steel value chain. GSCC has a presence in more than 80 countries worldwide.
