The main emphasis today is on “green steel production. This will enable the industry to withstand environmental problems and regulatory pressure.
The growing demand for high-quality steel grades will require special attention to equipment in both new and modernized plants, and digitalization will be an integral part of all stages of production activities.
In general terms, the future of metal production will be sustainable, carbon-free, safe, smart, and modernized, and it will probably lead to materials with properties that are hard to believe today. But first things first.
