Overview

It seems steelmaking decarbonisation has taken a backseat of late amid geopolitical concerns and the sobering realisation of the costs involved. Europe, the epicentre of the industry’s energy transition push, has come up against a critical stumbling block: insufficient renewable energy infrastructure and lack of green hydrogen supply. Policy support for green steel lead markets has also been slow. With the US under Trump 2.0 being non-committal to European security, and lessons learnt from Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, defence has become the priority.

Other regions have been touted as potential steel decarbonisation leaders due to their renewable energy sources and access to raw materials, such as Brazil, Australia and the Middle East and North Africa. Various projects have already been announced, while India became the first country to define green steel at government level. In the US, the drive to lower emissions has stalled amid the different priorities of the Trump administration.

ArcelorMittal was a high profile steelmaker to postpone energy transition investments in Europe last year, citing the need for more policy support. The European Commission has now issued its Steel and Metals Action Plan and Clean Industrial Deal, designed to help industry regain competitiveness while decarbonising its production process. A key element of the Action Plan is amending CBAM, to support EU exports and prevent circumvention. Another is to consider a scrap export duty, a topic which is likely to see heated debate this year. The Commission also aims to accelerate grid connections and put the EU’s hydrogen project pipeline back on track.

How the Commission’s measures translate into practice will have a direct bearing on steelmakers' decarbonisation investments – and on the future of steelmaking in Europe.

Green Steel Strategies aims to bring together an array of stakeholders engaged in decarbonising industry to discuss these issues and more.
