The steel branch plays an important role in global industrial energy consumption and CO2 emissions. Because of the dynamic growth of energy prices and the commitment of governments to decrease CO2 emissions, the reduction of specific energy consumption is a top priority for steel companies.

The objective of the 1st International Conference and Exhibition on Energy Efficiency and CO2 Reduction in the Steel Industry (EECRsteel 2011) is to provide an overview on state-of-the-art developments in progress, latest results and outlook on this important issue.

All new developments from the world of steel, at a single time and place – that is the reach of METEC InSteelCon 2011. It unites four international conferences under one roof: the 6th European Coke and Ironmaking Congress (ECIC), the 7th European Continuous Casting Conference (ECCC), the 4th International Conference on Modelling and Simulation of Metallurgical Processes in Steelmaking (STEELSIM) and the 1st International Conference on Energy Efficiency and CO2 Reduction in the Steel Industry (EECRsteel).

These events take place as accompanying congresses and conferences to the leading metallurgical trade fair METEC and the trade fairs GIFA, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST. More than 70,000 visitors are expected. All participants at the EECRsteel have free entrance to the 4 big trade fairs!
