The decarbonization of our economy needs to be addressed on a global scale, as GHG emissions generated across the country, or the world, do not remain within our borders and their impact is felt everywhere. 
 
Québec is in a particularly advantageous position to contribute to decarbonizing the steel industry, one of the world's most polluting industries.  
 
With vast resources of some of the purest iron ore, a regulatory framework based on the highest environmental standards and thanks to renewable energy, we have the power to propel the transition to green steel together. 
 
Champion Iron’s CEO, David Cataford, will present his vision of this societal project that would enable us to accelerate the energy transition and effectively tackle climate change.
