On November 13, Brussels (Belgium) will host the Green Steel Strategies 2025 conference, organized by Kallanish.
Decarbonization of steel production seems to have taken a back seat recently amid geopolitical issues and the emergence of defense issues as priorities. Europe, which is leading the industry’s energy transition, has faced a critical obstacle: insufficient renewable energy infrastructure and a lack of green hydrogen supplies. Political support for leading green steel markets has also been slow.
In 2025, the European Commission published the Steel and Metals Action Plan and the Clean Industry Agreement. These documents were designed to help industry regain competitiveness while decarbonizing production processes. A key element of the plan is to amend the CBAM, while another is to consider an export duty on scrap. The EC also aims to speed up grid connection and get the European hydrogen project back on track. The implementation of the EC’s measures will have a direct impact on metallurgists’ investments in decarbonization and the future of the industry.
Other regions (Brazil, Australia, the Middle East, North Africa, etc.) have been touted as potential leaders in steel decarbonization thanks to renewable energy sources and access to raw materials. Various projects have already been announced, and India has become the first country to define “green” steel at the government level.
At the same time, efforts to reduce emissions in the US have stalled due to other priorities of the Donald Trump administration.
The Green Steel Strategies 2025 conference will bring together a range of stakeholders involved in industrial decarbonization to discuss pressing issues.
