This steelmaker is investing in a fusion energy plant

Fusion can generate 100% zero-carbon electricity and could help decarbonize steel manufacturing. Steelmaker Nucor is partnering with fusion start-up Helion to build the plant.

The steel industry accounts for 7% of global CO2 emissions, largely due to blast furnace steelmakers, which use coal as an essential ingredient in the steelmaking process. Nucor uses electric-arc furnaces instead of a recycling-based circular method.
