Steel is an essential material and one of the most circular in terms of recycling. However, the steel sector faces challenges such as the reduction of its global greenhouse gas emissions or the management of steel dust. Faced with this challenge, the sector is focusing on the adoption of innovative technologies that allow it to produce steel in a circular and sustainable way, without compromising its competitiveness in the global steel market.

The Fundación Repsol Energy Transition Classroom on ‘Circular Economy’ at the University of the Basque Country/Euskal Herriko Unibertsitatea (UPV/EHU) is organising this event with the aim of debating the new opportunities and challenges in the field of circularity in the iron and steel industry.

This event will be held in Spanish
