Abstract

This paper aims at presenting transitions envisaged in the steel industry from cleaner production to systems innovation. Limits of the socio-technical system and the climate change challenge would induce changes in the production, distribution and consumption patterns of steel and other materials. Insights from industrial economics and evolutionary theory on innovation for sustainable development are needed to assess the rationale behind the adoption and diffusion of breakthrough technologies. Evolution in material consumption patterns deserves a special research agenda looking at long term evolution of the consuming sectors as major changes in the infrastructures and products that support our many energy and material dependent services (mobility, shelter, heat, light, etc.) are expected. These changes will be significantly amplified by greenhouse gas emission constraints
