“The American steel industry’s leadership on reducing emissions is well-known, but there are often disparate sources and avenues for calculating and reporting. Our industry wants to remain transparent, accurate and outspoken in our advocacy on decarbonization-related activities — and these guidelines can be an important tool to achieve those goals,” said AISI president and chief executive Kevin Dempsey. 

The guidelines resulted from months of collaboration between American steel producers and AISI staff.

Dempsey said the recommendations are not intended to be a formal industry standard, but “a means to inform efforts underway by American and international steel producers and others working to develop GHG emissions calculation methodologies.”
