Industrial decarbonization - transformation as a joint task

The transformation of industry - away from fossil and towards renewable energy sources and raw materials - is in full swing. With which mindset and which approaches will the transformation become a success? Where do different industrial sectors stand on the path to defossilization? What do current regulatory changes (such as the EU taxonomy) mean for the restructuring of the industry and how do innovative companies deal with regulatory developments effectively?

The Handelsblatt Annual Conference Decarbonization of Industry 2023 offers an exciting and varied program with top-class speakers from politics, business and industry. VNG Handel & Vertrieb GmbH is a partner of the event. We are pleased to introduce the participants to the real laboratory Energiepark Bad Lauchstädt - the first real laboratory of the energy transition, which is already going into structural implementation. Details on the hybrid congress, the complete program and the registration option can be found on the event website.

With decarbonization, the steel industry is facing what is probably the greatest transformational achievement in its history. In addition, the industry is struggling with disrupted supply chains, the energy crisis and the war in Europe. In this difficult situation, dialogue between decision-makers in the steel industry is more important than ever.

The futureSTEEL congress offers an independent platform for this. For the first time, topics such as decarbonization and sustainability, digital innovations and challenges in the supply chain will be combined in one specialist congress. We are also live on site in Stuttgart. As part of his presentation, Alexander Lück, Head of Sales & Marketing at VNG Handel & Vertrieb GmbH, will talk about "What do the current energy price developments mean for the steel industry?" speak. We are already looking forward to sharing ideas with the steel industry. Tickets and an overview of the program are available online on the event website.
