ArcelorMittal SAArcelorMittal Europe co-authored the call for ETS reform to reduce cost burden
Three of Europe's leading steelmakers are jointly calling for urgent, pragmatic reform of the EU Emissions Trading System, warning that without adjustments the current trajectory risks destroying Europe's industrial base. ArcelorMittal Europe, thyssenkrupp Steel, and voestalpine, which together represent around 60% of Europe's integrated steel production, published their shared position in the Financial Times. They estimate that without reforms, the EU could face a 30–40% decline in steel-intensive manufacturing activity, putting up to 5 million jobs at risk across the value chain. The companies are calling for a temporary pause in ETS cost escalation until key enablers such as competitive electricity prices, affordable green hydrogen, and carbon capture and storage are in place, and for ETS revenues to be directed toward industrial decarbonisation.
