We cannot lower carbon emissions if we keep producing steel with fossil fuels.

How else do u suppose we make steel?

Use renewable and clean energy sources to produce electricity then make steel with induction heater or other forms of electricity-based heat?

electricity-based heat?

The most expensive heat, so probably not feasable.

For recycling steel we use electricity heat. Though an arc furnace usually. U can make your own with 2 carbon rods and a microwave transformer.
