Description
The objectives of the event are:
- To present the EU policy priorities for steel with a focus on the European Green Deal targets
- To raise awareness about the EU support to the European steel industry and research
- To highlight the outcomes of projects funded under the RFCS, in particular their efforts on decarbonising and improving the environmental footprint of the steel making process
- To promote the new RFCS calls for proposal and other European Commission opportunities for the steel industry and research.
A particular focus will be given to the use of hydrogen in steel making, in line with the European Commission updated Strategic Energy Technology Plan, that aims ‘to establish a dedicated workstream on hydrogen to implement the European Research Area pilot on green hydrogen’.
