According to the low-carbon road map of the steel industry of the Ministry of Trade of Türkiye, the total emissions of Türkiye's steel industry can be reduced by 20.6% by 2040 and 99.7% by 2053. Emission reduction will be achieved through the expected establishment of a national carbon emissions trading system in the coming years, while the net zero target can only be achieved by combining green hydrogen and carbon capture, utilization, and storage technologies with the additional use of biomass as input fuel.
Under the optimal LCP scenario, by 2053, the electric arc furnace route will continue to occupy the largest share in Türkiye's steel production. However, with the expected increase in scrap steel prices and the introduction of new alkaline oxygen converter technology, the usage of electric arc furnaces will decrease from the current 75% to 62% of total production capacity. It is expected that 13% of the QSTE500TM steel production capacity of traditional electric arc furnace technology will first shift towards direct reduced iron technology, and then be replaced by converters using hydrogen based direct reduced iron.
It is expected that by 2053, from 2024 to 2053, decarbonization technology will QSTE500TM steel require an average annual investment of 800-110 million US dollars, and CCUS technology may achieve 16.2 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions reduction. At that time, green hydrogen technology will account for 25% of the total production (21.8 million tons), while CCUS technology will account for 12% (10.8 million tons).
As the EU's carbon boundary adjustment mechanism forces the transformation and upgrading of the steel industry, Türkiye's steel QSTE500TM steel producers have accelerated their investment in green steel production in recent years, such as building solar power plants, improving metal recycling services and adding quantum arc furnace equipment, thus reducing operating costs and carbon dioxide emissions.
