Description

In this episode we're joined by Nick Macan, an engineer and executive who's spent his career in the thick of big challenges—from West African oil projects to Russian sanctions to concrete and Canadian steel mills.  

Nick now leads at Algoma Steel, a company taking bold steps of swapping out coal-fired blast furnaces for electric models, cutting emissions by 70%, and powering a new era of local, sustainable steel. 

He and Ben discuss why producing steel close to home matters, the challenges and opportunities of "green steel," and how strategic procurement can strengthen Canada's economy and sovereignty.
