The Deputy Minister of Industry, Mine, and Trade, referring to global trends affecting the future
of steel, stated: Digitalization, green steel and clean energy, re-globalization and Asian
competition, and changes in demand patterns such as lightweight and advanced steels are
among the most important global strategies in this industry.
Samiei Nejad identified decarbonization, the use of renewable energy, recycling, and energy
efficiency as key factors in achieving green steel goals.
