Green Steel Summit 2024

During the Green Steel Summit you will have the opportunity to hear the latest on regulations, trends, technology, strategies, prices, supply and demand and much more directly from industry leaders, pioneers and will be able to network with the representatives of all parties, such as steelmakers, traders, energy suppliers, raw materials suppliers, consultancy companies, government agencies, steel users and many more industries.

Some of the topics the agenda will cover include:

  • Is conversion to green steel mandatory? Is it possible to survive without transforming?
  • What will be the costs and/or consequences of not transforming? What will be the possible advantages and disadvantages of the transformation?
  • What path should be followed for transformation, where should we start? What should be the priorities and goals of the transformation?
  • Within the framework of CBAM, how will emission notification be made? How will the emission calculation be?
  • What is the cost of the transformation and how will the transformation affect production costs and competitiveness?
  • Which technologies and applications stand out in decarbonization investments?
  • Will carbon taxes change the dynamics and routes of steel trade in the world?
  • Is the legislative infrastructure being prepared that will direct steel users to use green steel?

  • What will be the features of the Turkish Emission Trading System?
  • How will decarbonization trends shape raw material supply?
  • How will the competitiveness of players in the steel industry be affected by the transformation?
  • What will the world steel industry look like in 2030, 2040 2050?
  • What awaits the sector during the CBAM transition period, how to prepare for 2026?
  • How can I determine my current status regarding my emissions?
  • From which point to start to decarbonization efforts? What to consider while deciding which point to start?
  • Which technologies and applications might be leading the future transformation?
  • Will government support be provided for studies on transformation and adaptation investments?
  • Will I have to change my suppliers and customers? Will CBAM affect my export sales?
  • In what way will CBAM or decarbonization affect my production costs, prices and competitiveness?
  • What is being done in the world regarding decarbonization, what strategies should I follow?
  • Will decarbonization efforts make scrap supply a problem in the future?
  • What will be the status of end users in terms of green steel usage in the future?
  • Will the end users be ready to pay price premiums for the green steel?
  • Will the global production shift from BF-BOF to EAF-DRI? What will the pace of transformation?
  • How will the global green steel capacities grow, estimations, plans and projects?
