Resumo
Sustainability has become a critical concern in the global steel industry. As steel production is inherently resource-intensive and generates significant emissions, the implementation of sustainable practices is crucial to mitigate its ecological footprint. This paper explores the current state and future prospects of sustainable galvanizing technology, a vital process for enhancing steel's durability by applying a protective zinc coating. Finally, the paper presents case studies of fossil-free galvanizing implementations with zero emission in the USA and abroad, illustrating how these initiatives not only comply with stringent emission permits but also contribute to a competitive advantage in the market.
