Coal’s grip on the global electricity sector is loosening as more utilities and companies invest in renewable energy. As a result, the industry accounts for roughly 8 percent of annual carbon dioxide emissions, as well as a toxic soup of air pollutants. The furnaces that melt iron ore to make steel consume vast amounts of coal.
