Introduction

The report summarises the presentations and outcomes from the “Iron and Steel Industry CCUS and Process Integration Workshop”.

IETS (Industrial Energy-related Technologies and Systems), the World Steel Association (WSA) and IEAGHG jointly organised this meeting.

Key Messages

• CO₂ storage demonstration is crucial to kick-start any CCS activities in the iron and steel industries.

• A global approach towards CCS is necessary to establish a level playing field among the industries in different countries.

• In the beginning, CCS implementation will increase steel prices but the role of incentives remains unclear.

• Public acceptance for CCS in parts of Europe is currently lacking.

• The technology is ready but the current economic situation prevents implementation of CCS in the steel industry.
