Challenges of a Sustainable Steel Industry

This summer marks the launch of the European research project “SUPER – sustainable future steel production and people recruiting and skilling.” The international consortium, in which the Social Research Center (sfs) at TU Dortmund University is involved, is addressing the key challenges facing the steel industry on the path to climate neutrality. As a sector with high greenhouse gas emissions, it must advance de-carbonization while also dealing with an aging workforce and difficulties in recruiting young employees. Instead of addressing these challenges separately, the project creates synergies by considering technological advancement alongside talent development across industries, disciplines, and regions.
