From the bridges we cross to the phones in our hands, metals make our everyday life possible.
But producing them uses enormous amounts of energy, most of it from fossil fuels, and drives some of the highest industrial emissions on the planet.
The metals industry drives global progress, valued at over $4 trillion, with steel alone accounting for 35%. But the way we produce metals today is unsustainable. It consumes vast energy, relies heavily on fossil fuels, and contributes significantly to global emissions.
If we want clean air, stable climates, and a livable planet for future generations, we must transform how metals are made.
ABB is helping lead that transformation.
For more than 100 years, ABB has helped guide the metals industry on the path to sustainability – without sacrificing profitability.
There is no one size-fits-all solution to carbon neutrality in manufacturing metals. At ABB, we work with customers to tailor solutions for individual needs.
By electrifying operations, automating processes, and using data to work smarter, we are building a more resilient and low-carbon future. This is how we protect the systems we all rely on.
At ABB we are future-proofing metals so it can keep serving us without costing the planet.
