The steel industry, as one of the basic global industries, plays a very important role in the production of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases. Considering the necessity of the global decarbonization process and the big challenges facing the steel sector in Iran, the stakeholders must discover ways to achieve the decarbonisation of the Iranian steel sector. In this context, we present an initial exploration of this perspective, where the general focus is towards using suitable substitute materials, using more scrap steel and changing existing recycling methods to remove more impurities (e.g., vehicle disassembly). instead of crushing them, which challenges material separation). better design and material substitution; increasing energy efficiency; Changing carbon-intensive technologies to net zero; etc., which have the potential to accelerate the transition towards decarbonization of steel and thus strengthen and promote the vital process of decarbonization in the steel sector. New technologies are being developed that will significantly reduce carbon emissions in the iron and steel sector. Ways in which the uptake of more sustainable technology can be stimulated, including their orientation.
