European clean steel: stand up together for a future low emission industry – Hydrogen: a powerful ally
The Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS), in cooperation with the Veneto Region (Italy), will host a workshop bringing together stakeholders involved in the decarbonisation of the European steel industry.
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’.
