Reply to comment by Ok_Champion6840 in US company gets $120 million boost to make 'green steel' by Ok_Champion6840
It’s not really, the process to create the material is still behind from the actual generation. Solar wind and hydro are making great strides in terms of Watts and consistency. But the end result as in storage is still also behind. We can create ways to make steel factories use green energy to heat the steel but from what I see in the power industry it’s very costly to set it up.

It is extremely expensive to redesign an industrial scale process like steel making which consumes acres, possibly hundreds of acres of plant space, has logistics like rail access or shipping, mountains of coal ready to be consumed as fuel or massive pipelines of natural gas.
Gotta start somewhere.
