Advancing Europe’s Net-Zero Industry: How the race for fossil-free competitive energy will reshape manufacturing value-chains Euractiv Partner Content

Wind, solar, hydrogen, electric vehicles, next-generation construction – these are the technologies that will drive the EU towards net zero and they are all built on steel.
As a critical input for building clean tech infrastructure, the EU steel sector is the key to deliver on the decarbonisation of the broader European economy. It is also a crucial moment to deliver on its decarbonisation across its manufacturing base and ensure the competitiveness of its 60 green steel projects by 2030.
However, these efforts require joined-up thinking in industrial policy as much as they demand sustainable, reliable, low-carbon energy. The U.S. has shown a possible way forward with the Inflation Reduction Act.
Relisten to this EUROFER Conference to learn about those pressing issues with CEOs and business leaders from the entire manufacturing value chain, in particular across the steel, renewables and electrolysers sectors, as well as with senior officials and policymakers charged with accelerating Europe’s green transition.
Panellists exchanged views on:
- Policies to incentivise sustained investment in European clean tech value chains.- How to support decarbonisation of manufacturing while avoiding carbon leakage as well as green investment leakage.- Boosting hydrogen capacity and building a crisis-proof electricity market design ensuring affordable prices for industrial consumers who are net-zero drivers.
