Objective: The objective of this study is to investigate green steel production technologies, assess their feasibility, scalability, and economic viability in reducing carbon emissions the industry. Theoretical Framework: This grounded concepts from sustainability transitions, technological innovation systems, industrial ecology. Key theories models include Multi-Level Perspective (MLP), Technological Innovation System (TIS), circular economy principles. Method: methodology adopted for research comprises a mixed-methods approach, integrating both qualitative quantitative analyses. Data collection was carried out through an extensive literature review, expert interviews, lifecycle assessment (LCA) focusing on hydrogen-based direct reduction (H2-DR) electric arc furnace (EAF) processes. Results Discussion: results revealed that H2-DR EAF technologies significantly reduce compared traditional blast furnace-basic oxygen (BF-BOF) methods. discussion contextualizes these findings within theoretical framework, highlighting key challenges such as hydrogen availability, infrastructure investment, need policy support. Research Implications: practical implications insights into potential achieve neutrality industry, influence regulatory policies, drive investment renewable energy infrastructure. Originality/Value: contributes by providing comprehensive evaluation emphasizing environmental benefits. relevance value are evidenced its inform policy-making practices, supporting transition sustainable
