Survey on Greenhouse Gas Emissions in the Steel Industry in Zimbabwe

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges worldwide. Its most severe impacts may still be avoided if efforts are made to transform current energy systems. The notion of climate change mitigation refers to the reduction of the rate of climate change via management of its causal factors such as the emission of greenhouse gases from fossil fuel combustion, agriculture, land use changes, cement and steel production etc. [4]. This paper gives results of a survey carried out on the steel industry in Zimbabwe. This gives a clearer indication on how much work is yet to be done in the mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions in this industry. Index Terms – greenhouse gas, steel, steel industry, emissions.
