Conceptual Principles of Green Steel – Lecture at the COEN Event, UFSJ

This topic shares insights from the lecture "Conceptual Principles of Green Steel", presented by Prof. Ricardo Luiz Perez Teixeira at the XII COEN (UFSJ). The discussion addresses the evolving definition of green steel and the technological shifts required for decarbonization, including replacing fossil fuels with hydrogen-based reduction and biomass charcoal. Highlighting Brazil's strategic potential in bioreducers, the professor emphasizes that achieving a carbon-neutral industry requires robust multi-institutional collaboration and the scaling of pilot projects, which are essential for demonstrating and expanding green steel technologies, citing examples from industry leaders such as Aperam and AVB.
