The steel industry is facing a necessary transition towards climate neutrality, where increased use of recycled steel is a key factor. A key challenge is to manage variations in alloying elements without compromising the quality of the material.
This project, led by Luleå University of Technology, aims to develop knowledge and methods to optimize scrap management and manufacturing processes. The goal is to enable a more resource-efficient and sustainable steel production within a circular economy.
