Frontrunner businesses are taking pioneering steps to make Europe a hub for green steel – a transition that would increase competitiveness, accelerate climate action, and increase Europe’s safety and resilience – but these plans won’t materialise unless there is adequate EU legislation to support them.
A strong EU Emissions Trading System’s (EU ETS) can pave the way to a success story. The outcome of the current review of the legislation is pivotal to whether the emerging green steel ecosystem including producers, suppliers, offtaker industries and finance institutions can move from early pilot projects to a new era of thriving low-carbon industry.
This high-level roundtable event brings together actors from the entire green steel value chain to show why a strong EU ETS is a precondition for a successful industrial transition.
The evening includes discussion and insights from high-level speakers including time for questions and discussion with the audience.
