The European Steel Association (EUROFER) has published the first of its Green Deal on Steel video series, exploring how steel could make the transition to becoming central to the low-carbon, circular economy by 2050, under the right conditions.
The EU launched its Green Deal for Europe in late 2019, and has made the Green Deal an integral part of its plan to relaunch the European economy in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.
EUROFER is convinced that a Green Deal on Steel could be a flagship for the wider EU Green Deal. The European steel sector is one of the most advanced industries in terms of its forward planning for its green transition.
EUROFER has set out a series of pathways towards reaching its climate change commitments, including mapping out the pathways the sector will eventually be able to go down to dramatically reduce its emissions over the next 30 years.

Brussels, 22 March 2024 – The future of a strong and resilient EU can only be forged with steel made in Europe. Europe-made low-carbon steel has a strategic role as it enables a net-zero economy, but today it faces strong headwinds from high energy prices, unfair competition, global overcapacity and growing unilateral carbon costs. The year 2023 has recorded the lowest European crude steel production levels ever, with a number of idled plants and dire impact on workers. Ensuring the enabling conditions for the short-term viability and the decarbonisation of the steel sector urgently needs to be at the top of the EU agenda. This is the message delivered by the European Steel Association together with a number of high-level representatives of the sector on the occasion of the Clean Transition Dialogue on Steel in the presence of the Executive Vice Presidents of the European Commission, Maroš Šefčovič and Margrethe Vestager.
