We assume that a global binding agreement exists between the steel sector and governments. The steel sector seems particularly suited for a sectoral targets approach because it is relatively CO2-intensive (3-5% of global CO2-emissions) and also trade intensive (approximately 20% of the value of steel output is traded).ensectoral targetssteel sectorcarbon leakagePost-Kyotoclimate policy303600Sectoral targets as a means to reduce global carbon emissionsreport
