EU policymakers must galvanise a shift away from coal-based steelmaking to boost industrial competitiveness and guarantee a future for over two million workers, according to research launched today and endorsed by 28 civil society organisations.

The research titled “The State of the European Steel Transition” highlights that the industry is at a crossroads but that “there is a clear pathway to green steel”, noting that this year is critical for advancing policies to drive the EU steel industry’s transition.
