MetPeel: manufacturing steel sheet and strip using a unique low-temperature, single-step process in place of conventional fossil-fired hot rolling

https://breakthroughenergy.org/fellows-project/metpeel/

"More than 99 percent world’s steel rolled after casting... requires repeated fossil-fired heating... 1 percent all greenhouse gas emissions... replaces with low-temperature, single-step mechanical process... machining or peeling a continuous, thin metal strip directly from a solid metal feedstock surface in one single step without the need for external heating. MetPeel’s one-step process has the potential to eliminate 1.4 billion tons of CO₂ emissions annually by 2050"
