Out past any real expertise I have but people are working on it. You need the non-fossil options to be cheaper, obviously, and a lot of these problems are "soluble in energy." For example:
https://www.canarymedia.com/articles/green-steel/now-form-energy-is-using-its-battery-tech-to-clean-up-iron-and-steel
(I've mentioned before that my "victory condition" is 90% less CO2 emissions, not zero. Zero is very much harder.)
Can we get solar and/or wind down to $0.03/kWh at scale? It looks pretty likely.
