Exhibition of Ice and Fire

by Steve Morgan

Industry and Climate Change.

A photography exhibition.

Fri 30th May - Opening Night 7pm - 9pm

Sat 31st and Sun 1st June 11am - 5pm

An abstract view of the conflicts of industrial production and climate change.

Steelmaking, the fiery process that underpins and is vital to modern life, comes with a huge cost to the climate. Greenhouse gases gush from the burning fossil fuels that drive 1600°C blast furnaces and melt raw iron ore. Purifying the molten ore by mixing it with refined coal, or coke, releases a second, bigger surge of carbon dioxide. A third stream comes when the resulting pig iron is turned into steel by cooking it a bit further—baking off most of the remaining carbon— and alloying it with additives such as chromium or titanium.

In the end, the emitted greenhouse gases weigh roughly twice as much as the steel itself. Nearly 2 billion tons of steel is produced worldwide each year, accounting for about 7% of human greenhouse gas emissions, more than the entire European Union.

Steel is the planet's largest carbon-emitting manufacturing sector, making it an immediate global priority for decarbonization. The steel industry is currently grappling with and finding solutions to the challenges set by legally binding targets to achieve net zero emissions .
This exhibition takes an abstract look at some of the coldest places on the Earth and one of the most energy intensive and hottest production processes in industry.

The images are from the Arctic and Antarctic regions taken during campaigns Steve Morgan has undertaken with Greenpeace. The steel industry images form part of my commercial work taken over the years in the UK and Europe
