Steel will not remotely be a constraint for global transformation of energy over the coming decades. We make vastly more of it per year than annual requirements, and there’s an increasing amount of scrap being created.

With more scrapping and more direct reduction using lower carbon technologies such as Midrex’ DRI and HYBRIT every decade, and the likely creation of those facilities closer to iron ore mines, high-emissions furnaces will go out of business over the coming decades, unable to decarbonize.

Looking at social media, it’s easy to assume that Canada is like a left-leaning version of the United States. Celebrities promise to move there if elections don’t go their way, but they almost never actually do it. We’re also reminded regularly by Canadian Twitter users that we’re dumb when things go wrong that they don’t […]

Big news for clean air last week. The Bay Area Air Quality Management District (BAAQMD) adopted amendments requiring the elimination of nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from new water heaters by 2027 and new furnaces by 2029. We’ve been hearing about the indoor pollution from gas stoves this year. Gas water heaters and furnaces also have […]

Last week, I sat down with SECO SEALS’ president and senior engineer, Jim Scott, to talk about the importance of proper, permanent, 100% leak-free seals in automotive and aerospace applications. It was a conversation which, if we’re being honest, I did not expect to turn into a high-tech, planet-saving thriller that challenged my assumptions about […]

The EIA forecasts lower US carbon emissions by 2050. It also forecasts higher oil and gas production. Can both scenarios be correct?
