Summary
Steel is essential to build and maintain the modern world. However, producing steel involves burning large sums of coal or oil. Fossil fuels like these releases carbon into the atmosphere that was not part of the biosphere; which leads to climate change. Burning wood releases carbon that was already part of the biosphere which means no additional climate change. This project will explore the possibility of using wood as an energy source to melt steel.
