closed the first day. Moderated by Dr. Carlos Bernuy-Lopez( Ramboll) and featuring Dr. Marita Nilsson( Stegra), Dr. Volker Schöllmann( HYBRIT Development), and Göran Nyström( Ovako), the session drew a standing-roomonly crowd – clearly underscoring the urgency and interest surrounding hydrogen’ s role in the decarbonization of steel.
Lively conversations during a break at the Hydrogen Tech World & Green Steel World Conferences 2025, where networking proved as valuable as the presentations themselves.
Green Steel World Conference 2025
The Green Steel World Conference 2025 gathered speakers who are leading the steel industry’ s transformation toward sustainable production. Professionals from across the value chain, including steel producers, technology providers, financial advisors, and software developers, shared how green steel strategies are being deployed to reduce emissions and increase circularity in an energy-intensive sector.
With a strong lineup of applied research, technical insights, and practical case studies, the conference addressed the diverse challenges and innovations shaping the future of green steel. Topics included low-carbon steelmaking technologies, circular economy initiatives, carbon accounting and certification, scrap optimization, renewable energy integration, and the role of digital tools in driving process efficiency. The event fostered an open, collaborative atmosphere, with thought-provoking discussions and active participation throughout.
Especially noteworthy from the two-day event was a pair of well-received presentations. Tim Eschert of Fero Labs delivered a talk titled“ Unlock efficiencies in 2025: why you need to optimize people, process, and products with AI,” focusing on how artificial intelligence can drive operational excellence and sustainability in steel production. Bernhard Rischka of Swiss Steel Group followed on the second day with a presentation on“ Green steel strategy and circular insights from Swiss Steel Group,” offering practical insights into how the company is advancing decarbonization and resource efficiency. Both sessions drew large audiences and sparked meaningful conversations on the path to greener steel.
We are confident that the two days were informative, enriching, and inspiring to all participants. The Hydrogen Tech World and Green Steel World Conferences were made possible with the support of all visitors and participants. Thank you for the wonderful discussions and meaningful connections.
We extend our heartfelt thanks to our sponsors: Siemens Energy, Kalyani Ferresta, Meva Energy, Alleima, and ANYbotics. The presence of the conferences’ sponsors underscored the commitment of various industries to sustainable practices. A special thank-you to all speakers who delivered cutting-edge insights into the latest developments in green steel and hydrogen technologies.
