Wood is celebrated due to biomass's carbon sequestration potential and renewability, and strategies to reduce concrete’s significant carbon footprint have also received much attention. Steel, one might presume, has remained essentially unchanged: a material cornerstone of modern architecture, robust and imminently capable, yet limited by its high embodied energy and global market volatility.
