Building on the strong momentum of the 2025 edition, ACI returns with The Future of Green Steel 2026. This senior-level, market-facing forum brings together key stakeholders from across the value chain to examine how the transition is progressing in practice.
As the industry moves beyond early commitments, the focus is shifting toward competitiveness, execution and long-term viability. The event is designed to address the commercial, technological and regulatory realities shaping the next phase of steel decarbonisation across Europe and adjacent markets.
Past editions have brought together influential voices from across the steel value chain, including ArcelorMittal, H2 Green Steel, Renault, and GFG Alliance. These organisations were joined by senior stakeholders from production, automotive, energy, policy, and finance, creating a setting focused on decision-making rather than declaration. The emphasis has consistently been on moving beyond ambition to confront the practical challenges of delivering low-carbon and green steel at scale.
Key discussions have centred on the feasibility of carbon-neutral steel production, the deployment of both breakthrough and transitional technologies, and the role of circular economy models in reducing emissions across the steel lifecycle. Equally central have been candid conversations around pricing, customer demand, offtake structures, and certification credibility, alongside the regulatory frameworks required to support investment while maintaining competitiveness in a tightening and increasingly fragmented global market.
More than a conference, The Future of Green Steel has positioned itself as a working forum for senior decision-makers navigating real trade-offs, between cost and carbon, innovation and risk, policy ambition and market reality. It is a space where commercial constraints are addressed directly, and where cross-value-chain collaboration is treated as a necessity rather than an aspiration.
With 2026 emerging as a pivotal year for project delivery, capital allocation, offtake agreements, and regulatory clarity, the next edition will focus on what must happen now to unlock progress.
