NZ has one of the cleanest electricity grids in the world. So why are we shipping our scrap steel overseas to be recycled?

Cambridge University researcher Michael Allison modelled 28 scenarios to find the decarbonisation pathway for Aotearoa New Zealand's steel industry. In this episode he shares what he found, what the Electric Arc Furnace actually unlocks, and what fabricators, engineers and contractors can do right now.

Research commissioned by HERA.
