Description
This grant aims to foster innovation in sustainable steel manufacturing by supporting research projects led by university teams from engineering, scientific, or mathematical departments at North American universities. The focus is on developing and demonstrating technologies that reduce carbon emissions, enable carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), and address other sustainability challenges in the steel sector. The program encourages strong collaboration between academia and the steel industry, requiring each project to include a mentor from a steel-producing or related company. The initiative is designed to promote student engagement with the steel industry, enhance industry-academic partnerships, and attract future talent to the sector.
