The European steel industry must achieve deep greenhouse gas emission reductions to become climate neutral by 2050. New business models are often proposed as one of the key solutions but are mostly addressed in general terms, without elaborating on or systematically analyzing how these new business models are actually linked to specific mitigation measures or strategies. In this paper, we assess when and to what extent different emission reduction strategies in the EU steel industry have implications for business model innovation. Through a review of 42 recent publications on industrial decarbonization, we identify 9 types of decarbonization strategies for steelmaking and their emission reduction potential. The strategies achieve emission reductions through material efficiency, emission efficiency, or a combination of both. For each strategy, we analyze the need for incremental or radical changes in business models on the basis of a thorough reading of the business model literature. Our findings show that EU steel firms can pursue several strategies to decarbonize without having to radically innovate their business models. Importantly, material efficiency strategies, arguably key to decarbonization, imply more radical changes to business models than emission efficiency strategies. Our study is a first contribution to the systematic assessment of industrial decarbonization strategies from a business model perspective. It is also an attempt to bring more rigor to the understanding of the role of business models in industrial decarbonization.

欧盟钢铁行业的减排战略:对商业模式创新的启示

欧洲钢铁业必须实现大幅度减少温室气体排放,以在2050年之前实现气候中和。新商业模式通常被提议为关键解决方案之一,但大多以通用术语解决,而没有详细阐述或系统地分析这些新商业模式的发展方式。实际上与特定的缓解措施或策略相关。在本文中,我们评估了欧盟钢铁行业不同的减排策略何时以及在何种程度上对商业模式创新产生了影响。通过对42篇有关工业脱碳的最新出版物进行回顾,我们确定了9种炼钢脱碳策略及其减排潜力。这些策略通过材料效率,排放效率或两者的结合来实现减排。对于每种策略,我们在透彻阅读业务模型文献的基础上分析了业务模型中增量或根本变化的需求。我们的发现表明,欧盟钢铁公司可以采取多种脱碳策略,而不必彻底创新其商业模式。重要的是,材料效率战略(可能是脱碳的关键)暗示着与排放效率战略相比,商业模式将发生更根本的变化。我们的研究是从商业模型的角度对工业脱碳策略的系统评估做出的第一个贡献。这也是试图使人们更加严格地理解商业模式在工业脱碳中的作用。我们的发现表明,欧盟钢铁公司可以采取多种脱碳策略,而不必彻底创新其商业模式。重要的是,材料效率战略(可能是脱碳的关键)暗示着与排放效率战略相比,商业模式将发生更根本的变化。我们的研究是从商业模型的角度对工业脱碳策略的系统评估做出的第一个贡献。这也是试图使人们更加严格地理解商业模式在工业脱碳中的作用。我们的发现表明,欧盟钢铁公司可以采取多种脱碳策略,而不必彻底创新其商业模式。重要的是,材料效率战略(可能是脱碳的关键)暗示着与排放效率战略相比,商业模式将发生更根本的变化。我们的研究是从商业模型的角度对工业脱碳策略的系统评估做出的第一个贡献。这也是试图使人们更加严格地理解商业模式在工业脱碳中的作用。我们的研究是从商业模型的角度对工业脱碳策略的系统评估做出的第一个贡献。这也是试图使人们更加严格地理解商业模式在工业脱碳中的作用。我们的研究是从商业模型的角度对工业脱碳策略的系统评估做出的第一个贡献。这也是试图使人们更加严格地理解商业模式在工业脱碳中的作用。
