Abstract
As evening approaches in Pueblo, Colorado, the vast steel mill begins to transform under the setting sun. The EVRAZ Rocky Mountain Steel mill, a longstanding institution in this industrial area for more than a century, is evolving as part of the push to decarbonize the global steel industry. Collaborating with Lightsource bp, the mill is shifting to solar energy, positioning itself as the first steel mill in North America to operate predominantly on solar power. The solar conversion is set to abate almost half a million tons of greenhouse gas emissions.
