Steel is the most versatile industrial material in the world. The thousands of different grades and types of steel developed by the industry make the modern world possible.
Steel is 100% recyclable and therefore is a fundamental part of the circular economy.
As a fundamental engineering material, steel is also an essential factor in the development and deployment of innovative, CO2-mitigating technologies, improving resource efficiency and fostering sustainable development in Europe.
Brussels, 4 June 2026: One year after the United States imposed 50% tariffs on steel imports, European steel exports to the U.S. are down by one-third according to latest figures by the European Steel Association (EUROFER).
Production falls to record low despite recovery in demand
Industry welcomes the European Commission’s work on the development of a regulatory framework for CO₂ transport infrastructure, which will be critical to achieving the EU’s climate objectives and enabling the scale-up of Carbon Capture, Utilisation and Storage (CCUS) as part of an integrated value chain, including emitters, transport, storage operators, and CO2 offtakes for use in products.
