Navigating regional zero-carbon steel pathways in China by aligning spatial resource constraints with facility heterogeneity
China’s iron and steel sector is pivotal to global industrial decarbonization, yet near-zero transition pathways under heterogeneous regional resource endowments remain poorly understood. Here we develop a plant-resolved, spatially explicit framework that integrates a facility-level emission database, a cost-minimizing...
