Metal industry
Engineering peak efficiency for the transition.
Sector Overview
Metals production focuses on steel and aluminium, the most energy-intensive materials in the sector. Operations involve continuous or hybrid processes, including melting, refining, casting, and rolling. Steel alone accounts for approximately 7% of global emissions, while aluminium adds another 1%. Digital transformation and automation efforts are ongoing across thousands of plants globally.
