In response to the escalating climate challenges, low-carbon development has become a global consensus, making the green, low-carbon transformation of industries crucial for addressing environmental, energy, and resource bottlenecks. As the largest emitting manufacturing sector, steel production contributes 7% of total man-made greenhouse gas emissions. North America, committed to decarbonization, is rapidly advancing in this area. The region boasts the lowest carbon steel production worldwide, thanks to economic, financial, and technological factors. This has positioned the North American steel industry as a leader in green steel production, significantly contributing to the fight against climate change and global warming.

North America's success in green steel production is supported by advanced technology, abundant renewable energy resources, and a strong innovation environment. However, to sustain rapid, high-quality development, the region must address challenges such as technical economics, energy infrastructure transformation, policy support, industrial chain coordination, and environmental and social licensing. According to a market report, the North American region is expected to be a highly profitable market for green steel from 2023 to 2032.
