To build the low-carbon economy of the future, we’re going to need a lot more steel. But right now, most steel is produced from high-carbon-emitting blast furnaces, and there’s nowhere near enough recyclable steel to meet global demand. So how do we make more steel, without pumping more carbon into the atmosphere?

Parker Meeks is the President and CEO of Utility Global, a company leveraging their revolutionary tech to decarbonize global steel production. Utility’s platform can be incorporated into existing facilities, requires relatively minimal capital expenditure, and here’s the kicker: no new energy infrastructure is needed, because the whole process powers itself.

So how does it actually work? What are its advantages over other methods of producing ‘green steel’? And most importantly, can global steel producers be convinced that Utility is the way to go when it comes to decarbonization?

Let’s find out.
