Tenova has the technologies and expertise to enable producers and accompany them along this path"

"Without sharing knowledge and resources, it is not possible to reach the ambitious goals set by the European Green Deal: the Clean Steel Partnership is a catalyst that offers the opportunity to pool excellence in the steel sector. Its general objective is to develop technologies to reduce CO2 emissions stemming from EU steel production by 80-95% compared to 1990 levels, ultimately leading to climate neutrality. We are ready to embrace this challenge!"
