Doctoral Network on the adoption of Hydrogen mEtalLurgy In the climate-neutral production Of Steel - HELIOS

RAW MATTERS interview with Adolfo Aiello (EUROFER): Low-Carbon Steel is crucial for achieving climate targets

🚀 Episode #2 of the RAW MATTERS podcast is live!

🔍 One of the most critical materials for a low‑carbon future – steel – is at the centre of this conversation.

Within the HELIOS – MSCA DN project we’re re‑imagining steel production with hydrogen‑driven plasma technology. In this episode we unpack:

– How hydrogen & plasma can bring climate‑neutral steel to scale.
– The real‑world business case for investing in smarter, circular material systems.
– The challenges of geopolitics, market volatility, and regulation when re‑thinking steel supply chains.
– What resilience means for the future of Europe’s industrial base.
