ESTEP is also facilitating the Clean Steel Partnership(CSP), driven by the European steel industry. The CSP is a Public Private Partnership (PPP) in Horizon Europe. The CSP will support the EU 2050 decarbonisation strategy by developing and testing at large scale technologies that enable steel production to become climate neutral by avoiding and significantly reducing its CO2 emissions.

Meetings
Meetings

The list below only covers meetings held since November 2014 with commissioners, their cabinet members or directors-general at the European Commission; other lobby meetings with lower-level staff may have taken place, but the European Commission doesn't proactively publish information about these meetings. For more information about which commissioner is responsible for which portfolio, check out this link: https://commissioners.ec.europa.eu/index_en All information below comes from European Commission web pages.
1 July 2024: We have noted that some meetings are appearing in duplicate, ie. some meetings seem to be listed twice. This seems to be because the Commission changes some element of a meeting data after the meeting has first been listed, which causes LobbyFacts to register it as a new meeting. We are investigating further.
