Geoscience – Are we transition future fit?

As the iron and steel industry continues to advance its transition to a green future, it is important the transition implications are accounted for across the entire supply chain. This includes understanding, evaluating and preparing for what the transition means to geoscience and similarly how iron ore geoscience knowledge can help accelerate the transition to ensure a future fit tomorrow.
