| Summary: | This value is an estimate of total global steel production based on a material flows model. | |
| Method: | The value comes from a Materials, Inputs, Stocks, and Outputs model of global material flows. The model is run as a Monte Carlo simulation 103 times to obtain mean and standard deviations. The uncertainty range represents three standard deviations from the mean. | |
