Common emissions measurement methodologies to accelerate the transition to near zero
Steel Standards Principles
The Principles were launched at COP 28 in 2023 and are endorsed by more than 65 organisations. The aim is to align on emissions measurement methodologies to accelerate the transition to near zero.
Transparency criteria in GHG emissions reporting
Meaningful and comparable carbon intensity metrics for steel should demonstrate transparency on methods of calculation, requiring common points of disclosure and qualitative descriptions of accounting rules.
SSP at COP30
The progress that is being made by the SSP endorsers is captured in statements that are prepared in advance of COP. Side events have also been held in COPs 28, 29, and in COP 30.
Glossary
A resource of common and relevant terms that are used in the topic of alignment and harmonisation of methodologies, with a focus on the quantification of GHG emissions in the steel industry.
worldsteel’s mapping of GHG methodologies
To highlight the complexity of available emissions measurement methodologies, worldsteel conducted a mapping exercise of over 50 approaches, providing details to assist in the comparison of the standards.

Emissions Measurement and Data Collection for a Net Zero Steel Industry
This report by the International Energy Agency, commissioned by the Japanese government during their G7 Presidency, proposes net zero principles for emissions measurement methodologies for the steel industry.
The Principles do not necessarily reflect the positions or opinions of Members or Member Governments of the endorsing organisations or initiatives.
