As the global steel industry accelerates its decarbonisation ambitions, steel scrap is increasingly regarded as key to reducing carbon emissions. China’s plans to transition significant production to EAF route will drive increased use of scrap. While Turkey, by far the world’s largest scrap importer is expanding production capacity, becoming ever more dependent on scrap. As scrap becomes increasingly important, how likely are we to see more countries resort to restricting scrap exports to maintain their competitive advantage? Will the EU restrict scrap exports despite WTO rulings? To what extent and for how long will sanctions on Russia and the war in Ukraine impact steel supply, scrap availability and trade flows?
In addition to geo-political trade shocks shifting supply and demand, global inflationary pressures, government steel-sector policy, volatile exchange rates and elevated freight rates, coupled with surging energy costs are pulling scrap markets in all directions. Will rising energy costs intensify competition for higher scrap grades? Which grades will be more popular and how will global scrap trade evolve in 2022? Join us for the 2nd International Steel Scrap 2022 conference where renowned steel and scrap experts from around the world will present their analysis on recent steel scrap market trends and share their views of what we can expect in 2022 and the next few years.

How will green steel strategies impact steel raw materials? Currently, global pig iron supply from the CIS has been severely disrupted by war and sanctions. Meanwhile, iron ore prices remain highly volatile and coal prices are hitting new records. While steel scrap, seen as the key raw material to a successful green steel transition is expected to see a huge rise in consumption in the coming years. What can we expect for other raw materials going forward? How will this impact steel scrap and what are the comparative advantages for steel production considering a greener steel future?
Format: 10-15 min presentations + panel
We turn to eminent steel producers, traders and consumers who will debate the key question of how to navigate a business success strategy in today’s challenging market.
