About This Course
This innovative course explores global steel decarbonization policies and strategies using Large Language Models (LLMs) as research and analysis tools. We examine how different countries and regions are addressing the challenge of reducing carbon emissions in steel production, comparing policy approaches, technological solutions, and implementation strategies across the world's major steel-producing nations.
