CARBON ZERO

The steel industry in Aotearoa New Zealand is committed to reducing the industry’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions to net-zero by 2050. Our roadmap sets out a plan for how we will achieve this goal. It also supports New Zealand’s climate targets under the Paris Agreement and the Zero Carbon Act.

We will reduce emissions through real changes to how steel structures are designed, and how steel is produced, reused and recycled. Achieving the targets in this roadmap will require increased demand for low-emissions steel alongside new technology for making that steel. Reaching net-zero will require action across the entire steel value chain. Manufacturers, importers, designers, engineers, builders, recyclers, asset owners and government all have a role to play.
