Project summary
- Green Steels: The Dutch steel sector faces a major transition. The production, processing, use and recovery of steel is to be made significantly more sustainable by 2030 and completely CO2 neutral by 2050. The programme “Growing with Green Steel” is a plan to achieve this, involving major changes throughout the steel value chain. The section Mechanics of Materials contributes to this plan by studying how the microstructure and resulting properties of green steels are being affected by the new steel processing routes.
