Abstract

The increasing demand for greener approaches has made it critical for the industry to seize the opportunity, adopt new ways of thinking and set standards for the transition to a greener future. As the world strives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, construction companies are playing an even bigger role. Green steel is a new concept aimed at reducing the environmental impact of steel production. Traditional methods of steel production rely heavily on fossil fuels, which lead to high carbon emissions. On the other hand, green steel is produced using renewable energy sources such as hydrogen and solar energy, which significantly reduces carbon emissions and overall environmental impacts. Green buildings have an opportunity to tap demand beyond geography and architecture. In fact, greener business models can attract sustainable investments. But by 2030, we can reduce fixed carbon in commercial buildings by 70%. In building construction, the use of green steel can help reduce the carbon footprint of buildings and contribute to the goal of achieving sustainable and environmentally friendly structures. Green steel can be used in a variety of architectural applications such as structural beams and columns, roof covering and cladding and reinforced concrete. Green steel also offers economic benefits such as reduced production costs and increased energy efficiency. With increasing demand for sustainable building materials, the use of green steel is expected to increase, creating new opportunities for the steel industry and promoting a more sustainable future for the building construction sector. This article details the benefits of green steel for manufacturing, structural support, its role in reducing carbon footprints and environmental protection opportunities.
