The European steel industry decides to strengthen its R&D programme aimed at reducing CO2 emissions
At a meeting of the Steering Committee of the European Steel Technology Platform (ESTEP) in Brussels, the European steel industry and its policy-making partners decided to forge ahead with the ULCOS programme and take it to its second phase. ULCOS is the world’s most ambitious R&D programme aimed at reducing the process-related CO
2 emissions in steelmaking. The next phase will cost several hundred million euros.
All stakeholders of the ESTEP attended or were represented at the meeting, including the EU Commission and Member States representatives. During the meeting, in view of a common determination to take the ULCOS (Ultra Low CO
2 Steelmaking) research project to the next level, the decision was taken to commence the second phase of the programme.
The European steel industry’s technology platform called upon the European Union and national governments to provide for the necessary financial incentives to encourage its members to further engage in substantial investments. Such investments are risky, but are indispensable to consolidate Europe’s technological lead in steelmaking.
EU backing
ULCOS is backed by the European Commission and carried out by an industrial consortium composed of steelmakers, companies of the steel supply chain, research laboratories and universities.
