This study examines the carbon and energy intensity of steel production in Poland, with a particular focus on Blast Furnace–Basic Oxygen Furnace (BF-BOF) process. Given its dominant role industry, decarbonizing this process is crucial for achieving “Net Zero” targets outlined Strategy 2050 climate policy. The transition toward deep decarbonization presents significant technological challenges, primarily shift from high-carbon BF-BOF technology to low-carbon alternatives, such as hydrogen-based direct reduction iron Electric Arc Furnaces (H2-DRI-EAF—Hydrogen-Based Direct Reduction Iron Furnaces). Using time series analysis econometric modeling, we assess impact innovation investment emission technology. findings highlight necessity radical transformation reinforcing urgency adopting solutions. A successful sustainable industry requires holistic approach, integrating economic incentives, regulatory frameworks, innovation-driven strategies foster competitive, resource-efficient, environmentally responsible sector era decarbonization.

The anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere are one problems facing mankind on a global scale.Therefore, governments many countries making efforts to reduce CO 2 through regulatory measures.Environmental pollution from is not only an environmental problem, but also economic one.Therefore, authors focus conducting multi-econometric study impact macroeconomic factors (gross domestic product, exports, imports, inflation, and unemployment) in EU region.Systematization, empirical comparative analysis, econometric modeling (determining relationships between indicators) were research methods applied our research.The results, which carried out based statistical data for period 1970-2020 EU, confirmed existence dependence indicators such as gross unemployment.To know whether or maintain allowable emissions, can use multivariate regression models optimize, monitor, forecast their indicators.
