Decarbonising the Steel Sector

Organised by: BioRECAST EU-Project and H2Steel EU-Project, in collaboration with Task 33 (Gasification of Biogenic and Waste Feedstocks for a Sustainable Future)

This webinar will present and discuss the key activities and outcomes of the two European projects, BioRECAST and H2Steel, both dedicated to exploring innovative solutions for the defossilization of the steel sector through the use of renewable carbon and green hydrogen.

In addition, the session will offer a broader perspective with an overview of recent work carried out within IEA Bioenergy Task 33, focusing on biocarbon production and its application in metallurgical industries worldwide.
