At Karmanterra, we are committed to developing innovative, sustainable solutions that help hard-to-abate industries transition toward a net-zero future. That’s why we are excited to announce our membership with ResponsibleSteel™, the leading global standard and certification initiative dedicated to improving the sustainability of the steel industry.
Driving Real Change in the Steel Industry
Steel is a foundational material for global infrastructure, yet traditional production methods rely heavily on coal and coke, contributing significantly to carbon emissions. Our mission at Karmanterra is to disrupt this status quo by offering biogenic coking products (biocarbon)—manufactured in the USA from verified, sustainable forestry waste—as a direct replacement for conventional carbon sources in steel production. By repurposing waste into value, we provide an immediate and practical solution for metallurgical companies striving to decarbonize.
Collaborating to Develop New Green Steel Standards
Joining ResponsibleSteel™ is not just about affiliation—it’s about active participation. As a member, Karmanterra will contribute firsthand insights from our work supplying biocarbon products to steelmakers. By working alongside global industry leaders, we aim to help shape the next generation of green steel standards, ensuring they reflect real-world applications and viable pathways to carbon reduction.
Sharing Knowledge and Engaging at Global Conferences
Beyond product development, collaboration is key to achieving true sustainability. Karmanterra will engage with ResponsibleSteel™ members by attending global conferences, industry roundtables, and working groups, where we will share technical expertise, learn from fellow innovators, and advocate for scalable decarbonization strategies. We look forward to connecting with like-minded organizations and individuals who are equally committed to reducing emissions in the steel sector.
A Sustainable Future, Built Together
As our CEO, John Ryan, puts it: “Decarbonizing heavy industries is critical for a prosperous and sustainable future. Through ResponsibleSteel™, we’re excited to collaborate with global leaders, develop impactful standards, and drive meaningful change for the steel industry.”
This is just the beginning. Karmanterra is proud to be part of a movement that is reshaping the future of steel, and we are eager to contribute to the solutions that will make net-zero steel a reality. Stay tuned for updates as we continue our journey with ResponsibleSteel™!
