Michael Shakib and Bryan Jones, both seasoned industrial lecturers with experience in steelmaking, explore how traditional steel production methods contribute significantly to carbon dioxide emissions, even in the context of electric vehicles. Join us as we uncover the hidden environmental costs and discuss the challenges of achieving a genuinely sustainable automotive industry.
