As the EU shifts to low-carbon electric arc furnace technology, high-quality ship steel offers a strategic resource to meet climate goals, strengthen industrial resilience, and advance a circular economy. Recycling ship steel can cut CO\u2082 emissions by up to 80% compared to virgin materials, while forecasts show up to 12\u202fMt of scrap steel annually from EU-owned vessels in the coming decade. The report calls for stronger policies on traceability, documentation, and safe recycling within EU yards to unlock this opportunity for both steel and construction sectors.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"l-section wpb_row height_large\"><div class=\"l-section-h i-cf\"><div class=\"g-cols vc_row via_flex valign_top type_default stacking_default\"><div class=\"vc_col-sm-12 wpb_column vc_column_container\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div class=\"w-btn-wrapper align_none\"><a class=\"w-btn us-btn-style_1\" href=\"Discover how recycling ship scrap steel can cut CO\u2082 emissions by up to 80% and drive Europe\u2019s transition to a circular, low-carbon steel industry.\"><span class=\"w-btn-label\">Read the Report<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Discover how recycling ship scrap steel can cut CO\u2082 emissions by up to 80% and drive Europe\u2019s transition to a circular, low-carbon steel industry.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":12003,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"tags":[],"content-type":[213],"port-type":[],"type-of-practice":[],"subject":[679,693],"port_locations":[],"class_list":["post-12001","publication","type-publication","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","content-type-report","subject-decarbonisation","subject-r8-recycle"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.3 -
