Episode 010: Busting Some Big Steel Myths – Three Industry Fallacies

\[Steelonthenet.com] Three persistent steel industry myths, examined and debunked: that steel in general is a strategic material, that developing economies need their own steel industry to industrialise, and that G7 countries need to preserve virgin, iron-ore-based steelmaking. Dr. Kotas draws on current examples including British Steel's 2026 nationalisation, Sheffield Forgemasters, Nigeria's Ajaokuta Steel Company, and SNCF's switch to EAF-sourced rail steel in France. 22-minute episode with Dr. Andrzej Kotas. **Topics:** Trade Policy | Industrial Policy | Electric Arc Furnace | Global * * * ✅ Steel industry podcasts by Steelonthenet.com.
