Today, steel-making uses coal and contributes up to 11% of climate pollution worldwide. There’s a better way. We’re working to replace coal with clean energy and green hydrogen, and bring steel emissions down to zero in the next two decades.

Aluminum is everywhere — in our phones, cars, and packaging — and making it is so energy‑intensive that it can be either a major polluter or one of the cleanest materials around. In 1980, the US made 30% of the world’s aluminum; today it’s just 1%, so we’re working to rebuild clean aluminum production and good jobs here at home — cutting pollution and securing critical supply chains.

Everyone deserves safe housing, roads and bridges, but cement is hugely polluting, contributing 7% of climate pollution globally. We’re working to make the next generation of cement facilities around the world low-emission, using cleaner clinker and renewable energy.

Industrial processes use a lot of heat to manufacture our food, paper products, medicines, and more. While most facilities burn methane or coal, industrial heat pumps and other electric equipment can do the trick. We’re leveling up to make sure our cookies, notebooks, and more aren’t made with fossil fuels.
