Key question

How can we accelerate steel decarbonisation when frontrunners are ready to invest, but the transition remains challenging for much of the market?

Background

The transition to near-zero emissions steel is gaining momentum. Leading steel producers are investing in new production technologies, while major steel users have ambitious climate targets and a growing interest in lower-emission materials.

Leading companies are already demonstrating that the transition to near-zero emissions steel is possible. The next challenge is scale: how to build on frontrunner investments, strengthen demand and create the market conditions that enable near-zero steel to become an increasingly competitive choice across the value chain.

This invitation-only roundtable will bring together leading steel producers and major steel users for a candid discussion about what it will take to move from frontrunner action towards broader market adoption.

Format

The roundtable is designed as an interactive conversation in which every participant contributes:

09:00–09:05 | Welcome and framing

09:05–09:25 | Perspectives around the table: short opening intervention from each    participant

09:25–09:45 | Open discussion: what would enable near-zero emissions steel to scale?

09:45–09:53 | Final round: one thing that needs to change in the next two years

09:53–09:55 | Conclusions and close
