Beware of oversimplified narratives about the Biden administration’s recent plans to raise the tariff from 25% to 100% on Chinese electric vehicles (EVs), doubling their base cost. For example, President Joe Biden accused Beijing of “cheating” as he announced the measures, but China’s subsidies for its domestic EV industry are arguably just a different approach to an industrial policy strategy that the United States is pursuing as well.

Knowledge of the basic chemical process to make iron is older than the periodic table: iron ore + coal = iron + carbon dioxide. That last part – CO2 – has put the iron and steel industry under the spotlight for its contribution to climate change. Steel (an iron-carbon alloy) alone accounts for some 8% of annual global CO2 emissions, and well over 10% if one includes the industry’s emissions from electricity generation and coal mining.
