Revisiting Investment Costs for Green Steel: Capital Expenditures, Firm Level Impacts, and Policy Implications.
- Abstract
This document, titled "Revisiting Investment Costs for Green Steel: Capital Expenditures, Firm Level Impacts, and Policy Implications," discusses the investment required for the steel sector to transition to carbon neutrality. The study examines how capital expenditures are estimated in the academic literature and compares them to reported investment costs of green steel projects. It also analyzes the impact of a targeted transition to carbon neutrality on the balance sheet and leverage of listed steelmakers in the EU-27. The study suggests that capital expenditure may be underestimated in the academic literature and provides recommendations for referencing and contextualizing these estimates. It concludes with a discussion of the capabilities of listed steel producers to achieve carbon-neutral production, considering industrial policy perspectives.
