This year's Summer Academy for Math and Science (SAMS) program featured a dynamic College of Engineering master class and lab tour called Into the fire: How to make iron and steel, understanding its environmental impacts. Students learned about how the steel industry affects climate change, local air pollution, and health, as well as technologies that could reduce these impacts, and brainstormed potential solutions involving policy and neighboring communities. They examined a

" Thanks to a Sustainable Technologies for Steel Manufacturing Grant from the Association for Iron and Steel Technology (AIST), Carnegie Mellon researchers spent the spring semester developing decarbSTEEL (Decarbonizing Steelmaking TechnoEconomic EvaLuation) , an open-source, highly customizable Excel-based framework for assessing the cost and carbon dioxide (CO 2 ) emissions of different steel decarbonization strategies.  The faculty leads were Chris Pistorius , co-directo

The Wilton E. Scott Institute for Energy Innovation hosted a Research Workshop on Accelerating Green Steel at Carnegie Mellon University, which gathered experts on iron and steelmaking from around the globe on November 13-14, 2024. The workshop was co-hosted by the Center for Iron and Steelmaking Research (CISR). The workshop brought together representatives of eighteen organizations (see Participating Organizations) with iron and steel production spanning six continents and
