A new Rocky Mountain Institute report projects private sector demand for green steel across seven Asia-Pacific nations could reach 6.1 million metric tons per year by 2030. Government procurement alignment could unlock a further 11.5 million metric tons of near-zero emissions steel demand. Yet only 2.5 million metric tons of clean steel capacity is expected to be ready in the region by that date. The supply gap points to major opportunities for green iron imports, particularly from Australia.
