And all steel is made using coal regardless of where it’s produced, except in experimental processes like HYBRIT.

Some producers use electric arc furnaces, a few of which use only scrap metal as input, which means they need far less coal and emit far less CO2 than a conventional BOF/BFF setup.

Im aware, I was giving a best possible circumstances type situation. Still the steel for both is probably sourced from the same factory.
