The share of Iron & Steel production in EU in 2008 was 58% from basic oxygen furnaces and the 41.4% from the secondary steel production. Alternative routes exist; nevertheless, the steel production capacity from these plants represents a small share in the EU27.
Literature that takes into account global iron and steel market development have large discordance on European steel production levels in 2030. Scenarios foresee steel production variation in the range of −25% and +14% compared to 2018, , .
The Iron & Steel industry is one of the biggest industrial CO 2 emitters. It is estimated that between 4% and 7% of the anthropogenic CO 2 emissions comes from this industry in EU27 .
The European steel industry is the second largest steel producer worldwide generating 168 million tons of steel at more than 500 production sites across 24 EU member states in 2018 [ 1 ]. Steel production is either based on iron ore or scrap, whereby the shares of the individual routes differ significantly depending on regional circumstances.
Process optimisations and breakthrough technologies will inevitably be required and may be associated with large infrastructure costs. This would likely induce an increased price of produced steel having a negative impact on the competitiveness of the European steel industry.
It is worth noting that some EU MSs are not steel producers, and only 15 of them are involved in primary iron and steel production. Additionally, there are no decarbonisation plans in four of these primary producer MSs. This explains the H 2 demand for ISI spread over 11 MSs, as shown in Fig. 6.
