In this episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Chris Bataille, an associate researcher at the Institute for Sustainable Development and International Relations in Paris and an expert on industrial decarbonization. Exploring how essential steel is to contemporary life, Bataille discusses the steel industry’s colossal carbon footprint and evaluates alternative modes of production. As green steel is often expensive for companies to produce, Bataille considers technologies and policy innovations that could help incentivize environmentally sustainable manufacturing processes.
