This monograph provides a comprehensive analysis of the industry’s current state, the challenges of transitioning to low-emission steelmaking, and the future trends shaping the metallurgical landscape. It explores key topics such as greenhouse gas emissions, regulatory frameworks, and technological advancements, including hydrogen-based reduction, carbon capture and storage (CCS), and alternative energy sources like biomass and renewables. Special attention is given to the European context, where policies such as the European Green Deal, the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), and the Emissions Trading System (ETS) are driving significant changes. By evaluating these policies alongside global efforts, the book highlights both the opportunities and challenges that will shape the industry’s future.

Beyond the technical and policy aspects, this book also examines the economic and social implications of decarbonisation, addressing questions of competitiveness, financial feasibility, employment, and global trade in an era of green transformation. What strategies will enable companies to remain competitive while meeting ambitious carbon reduction targets? How will changes in supply chains, energy sources, and regulatory compliance affect production costs? Through case studies and scenario analyses, this monograph offers insights into the opportunities and risks that come with the industry’s transition, helping stakeholders navigate the evolving landscape.

This monograph reflects the collective effort of experts in metallurgy, environmental science, industrial policy, and economics, and we sincerely appreciate the contributions of all individuals and institutions involved. We hope it serves as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, students, and decision-makers, while also inspiring further innovation, dialogue, and action towards a greener and more competitive metallurgical industry.
