ANNOUNCEMENT: GLOBAL STEEL SUSTAINABILITY SUMMIT 2024

The green transition of the steel industry requires new technologies and strategies

On January 17-18, 2024, the Global Sustainable Steel Summit 2024 conference will be held in Hamburg, Germany, to discuss the steel industry’s transition to sustainable and environmentally friendly production.

In 2022, the global green steel market was estimated at $196.84 million. The industry is expected to grow as steel producers increasingly shift to sustainable production with minimal emissions.

The conference will provide participants with an opportunity to learn about the latest market and technological developments in green steel; exchange views with hundreds of industry professionals; establish new contacts and explore potential business opportunities; and discuss joint efforts to promote sustainable steel production.

The conference will also feature Stanislav Zinchenko, Director of GMK Center, who will participate in a panel discussion on the role of scrap in the decarbonization of the steel industry and present a report on the future of the green steel market in the EU and the prospects for green premiums.
