The global green steel market was valued at $200.0 million in 2022, and is projected to reach $364,493.53 million by 2032, registering a CAGR of 113.6% from 2023 to 2032. Green steel is produced without the use of fossil fuels. Instead of the conventional carbon-intensive production method of coal-fired power plants, it can be achieved by using low-carbon energy sources such as electricity, hydrogen or coal gasification.
Increasing awareness of environmentally friendly steel manufacturing in various sectors such as construction, automotive, and others is expected to boost the growth of the market. The industry is driven by market participants' increased investments in greenfield ventures, collaborations, and strategic alliances to change their companies. The demand for green steel is driven by government assistance and investment in green steel manufacturing. According to the World Steel Association, 1,860 MT (million tons) of steel were produced globally in 2020, releasing an average of 1.851 tons of CO2 into the environment per day. To increase the global production of green steel, organizations have been forced to implement strategies and form alliances with commercial steel-making companies.

Executive Summary
According to the report, the green steel market was valued at $83.40 million in 2021 and is estimated to reach $386.1 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 131.8% from 2022 to 2031.In 2021, North America dominated the global green steel market, in terms of revenue, accounting for the majority of the share of the global market.
Green steel is produced without the usage of fossil fuels. Instead of the conventional carbon-intensive manufacturing method of coal-fired plants, this may be accomplished by employing low-carbon energy sources such as electricity, hydrogen, or coal gasification. Increasing awareness of environmentally friendly steel manufacturing in key market players is driving the market. The industry is being driven by market participants' increased investments in greenfield ventures, collaborations, and strategic alliances to change their companies. The demand for green steel is being driven by government assistance and investment in green steel manufacturing. According to the World Steel Association, 1,860 MT (million tons) of steel were produced worldwide in 2020, releasing an average of 1.851 tons of CO2 into the environment per day. In order to increase the worldwide production of green steel, organizations have been forced to implement strategies and form alliances with commercial steel-making companies.
The high production costs of green hydrogen, which are influenced by the price of renewable energy & electrolyzes, and product efficiency may be a hurdle for the growth of the global green steel market in the coming years due to the lack of infrastructure globally. The cost of electrolysis is 5 times higher, or around USD 10.3 per kg, compared to traditional hydrogen generation methods, which costs between USD 1.5 and 2.3 per kg. Furthermore, the Rocky Mountain Institute claims that the cost of producing full-scale hydrogen-based steel is 20% to 30% higher than that of conventional technologies, which might further restrain the expansion of the worldwide market's revenue.
In addition, the outbreak of COVID-19 has led to halting in logistic and manufacturing activities across the globe, which, in turn, has led to the interruption of the supply chain, thereby hindering the growth of the green steel market. However, this situation is expected to improve as the government is relaxing norms around the world for resuming business activities.
Increasing government investment and cooperation among major market players are expected to bring lucrative opportunities for the growth of the green steel market. Furthermore, in 2021, the European Commission implemented various intermediate proposals to decrease 55% of GHG emissions by 2030 as a part of the European Green Deal (EGD) Project. It is a long-term EU policy that focuses on the climate strategy to reach net zero emissions by 2050 and provide a roadmap toward a green economic growth strategy. Later, in July 2020, the European Commission expanded its hydrogen strategy, underscoring green hydrogen to attain net-zero targets, and aimed to install about 6 GW of green hydrogen electrolyzers by 2024 & 40 GW by 2030. Growing partnerships across Europe show that the green steel market offers a bright future for the region in the coming years.
