Trillion Dollar Hydrogen Infrastructure for Steel
Analysis of trillion-dollar hydrogen infrastructure investment needed for steel decarbonisation. World requires $1+ trillion investment over two decades based on Stegra's costs. Multi-industry collaboration reduces costs 50-90% through shared pipelines, storage, electrolyser facilities. Top future steel hubs combine high-quality iron ore access with renewable energy: Western Australia, Northern Sweden, Eastern Canada positioned to dominate hydrogen-based steel production.
