To collect knowledge of CO2-mitigation
technologies within the steel industry.
Dissemination of the gained knowledge from current research activities: workshops, seminars, webinars, participation in conferences, scientific journal articles.
Definition of building blocks for
a successful technology implementation.
Roadmap for future R&D needs concerning
CO2 mitigation technologies.
Strategies for technology transfer between the steel
companies and stakeholders from other industrial sectors.
The project “LowCarbonFuture” has the objective to collect, summarize, evaluate and promote research projects and knowledge dealing with CO2 mitigation in iron and steelmaking.
As final result, LowCarbonFuture will generate a roadmap stating research needs, requirements and boundary conditions for breakthrough technologies and a new CO2 lean steel production to guide the EU steel industry towards the world’s climate contract and the EU climate goals, e.g. by implementing the key findings in the strategic research agenda of the European Steel Technology Platform (ESTEP). Furthermore, “LowCarbonFuture” will contribute to an update of the steel roadmap for a low carbon Europe 2050 and the current BIG-Scale initiative of EUROFER.
