Carbon intensive industries are at a crossroads. Long-term manufacturing plans using pyrometallurgical processes all include decarbonization levers: we must solve the problem of fossil-based reduction and fossil-based power generation processes for metals production. This collection explores innovative and diverse strategies for the enablement of low carbon industries in the high-temperature metals and materials processing fields. In particular, the following processes are investigated: -       Electrolysis and electrification of metallurgical processes -       High-temperature electrolytic routes for metal and alloy production -       Use of hydrogen and other alternative non-carbonaceous reducing agents -       Biofuels and other non-fossil reagents for metallurgical applications -       Direct andindirect use of solar energy in high-temperature processing -       Energy efficiency and waste heat recovery concepts applied to pyrometallurgical operations
