As a result, the industry accounts for roughly 8 percent of annual carbon dioxide emissions, as well as a toxic soup of air pollutants. But in order to curb steel’s carbon emissions, the sector will have to transform how the material is traditionally made. The furnaces that melt iron ore to make steel consume vast amounts of coal.

For instance, a single pint of beer can have a carbon footprint as high as 900g CO 2e (for bottled beer that’s been extensively transported). This is ~14% of the daily average carbon footprint from meals per US citizen – having 2 to 3 pints ramps that percentage up to 42%. Challenge 5 : The brewing process is wasteful.
