Annual and cumulative global CO2 emissions are calculated from the GEM Steel and Iron Plant Tracker data35 (Methods, ‘Steel plant data analysis’) and shown as bars on the left-hand y axis, distinguishing emissions from operating steel plants without (black) and with one relining (grey), new steel plants that are already under construction (pink) and announced steel plants (red). The lines of corresponding colours (right-hand y axis) show the resulting cumulative emissions.
