BHP says high costs, limited demand slow steel decarbonisation projects

By Public Technologies
  • BHP's analysis finds steel decarbonization investment continues despite softer funding commitments, with US$ 24 billion committed in the 12 months to April 2026.
  • High capital costs, limited access to competitively priced energy and hydrogen, and weak demand for lower-emissions steel are pressuring project economics.
  • Several incumbent European steelmakers have delayed or scaled back major projects as carbon policy changes shape investment timing and economics.
  • Regional differences require multiple technology pathways, including emissions reductions at existing blast furnaces alongside alternative routes toward near-zero-emissions steelmaking.
