LIBERTY Steel Group has announced the launch of the second phase of its major policy partnership with thought-leading organizations in the spheres of environment and policy-making. The reports published today with environmental think tank Green Alliance and centre right political think tank Bright Blue in association with LIBERTY Steel, say that UK Government has a clear set of new policy steps it can take to decarbonize the UK steel sector by 2035. The reports follow on from the Prospectus for GREENSTEEL, published by the three organizations with the University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre at last year’s COP26 in Glasgow, highlighting the role that steel making and products made from steel can play in the drive to net zero, with a competitive operating environment and the right policy incentives in place. Following the Government’s significant move to extend steel safeguards, the reports set out ideas to transform and decarbonize the UK steel industry, especially in tackling high energy costs and creating the right environment for no regrets investment urgently needed in low carbon electric arc furnaces. Political focus and consensus is growing around steel’s importance to the UK’s industrial and economic future. These reports build on the partnership’s Prospectus for GREENSTEEL launched at COP26, and aim to develop a resilient steel industry which can supply manufacturing, construction and infrastructure businesses across the country.” Green Alliance - Building the Future: Faster Route to Clean Steel Bright Blue - A Carbonless Crucible: Forging a UK steel industry
