The Wilton E. Scott Institute for Energy Innovation hosted a research workshop on Accelerating Green Steel at Carnegie Mellon University. The workshop gathered experts on iron and steelmaking from around the globe on September 4-5, 2025. The workshop was co-hosted by the Center for Iron and Steelmaking Research (CISR), with support from the Industrial Decarbonization Analysis, Benchmarking, and Action Partnership, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation. The workshop b

Valerie Karplus just published a new discussion paper entitled Sustaining the Global Energy Transition with the Harvard Project on Climate Agreements. The paper considers the implications of high interest rates, trade tensions, and energy geopolitics for the deployment of technologies to decarbonize industries worldwide and argues for strategies that maintain momentum that are connected with objectives beyond climate alone.  View the paper here .
