ABOUT

The International Forum on “Decarbonization of the Steel Industry: a Challenge for Ukraine” is a unique event held in our country for the first time. Ukraine is a member of the Paris Agreement and one of the world steel production leaders. Last year the country was ranked eleventh with the overall production of 21 million tons.

Industry Decarbonization as the worldwide trend has become a new challenge for Ukrainian steel producers. The forum participants will discuss the problems of decarbonization, available technologies, companies’ plans to reduce CO2 emissions, and cooperation with the government. An important highlight of the forum in Kyiv will be the focus on new technologies implementation to reduce CO2 emissions and switch to carbon-free steel production.
