Emissions from the industrial sector represent approximately a quarter of global emissions, more than half of these originate from the combined production of steel and cement，and more than 60% of the world crude steel is produced in Asia, mainly in China, Japan and Korea. Carbon capture, utilization and storage technology, related applications, policy analysis and economic research have significant roles to play in managing the emissions from the steel sector.
