Throughout history, governments and investors have relied on predictions of prices for a broad spectrum of commodities. Using time-series data covering 08/23/2013-04/15/2021, this study investigates the challenging problem of predicting scrap steel prices, which are issued daily for the...

Purpose - This paper aims to assess the economic impacts of the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) on Vietnam. Design/methodology/approach - We constructed a general equilibrium model to assess the economic impacts of the CBAM on the macroeconomic indicators of Vietnam....

This evaluation report is part of the interim evaluation of Horizon Europe activities related to the Green Transition. It presents the assessment of the Co-programmed European Partnership Clean Steel Partnership (CSP) against the evaluation criteria of relevance, coherence, efficiency,...

Canada has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. A key element of achieving this target is Canada's just transition process. In 2003, the Canadian just transition started with the province of Ontario's provinces commitment to phase-out coal and was perpetuated by the national...

The presence of trade unions in hard-to-abate sectors (e.g., steel plants) adds up to the richness of perspectives that is necessary to understand and meet the needs of groups directly affected by, and mainly involved in, the sectors' transition, such as workers and their families. - Trade...

Iron and steelmaking is the industrial sector with the highest absolute CO2 emissions covered by the European Union Emissions Trading System (EU ETS). This report aims to describe key developments of the sector in the period from 2005 to 2019. It identifies key drivers behind the trends in...

The closure of the steelworks has meant the loss of an important employer in the region. The repurposing and retraining activities that followed can be seen as a showcase example of a successful redevelopment project with a strong reskilling perspective. When the Odense Steel Shipyard closed...

This report presents some EUROPLEXUS [1] simulations of thin steel plates with various types of pre-formed holes or slits that have been tested in the SIMLab Shock Tube Facility (SSTF) at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway. The SSTF is able to generate...

Objective This study compared the clinical efficacy and cost-effectiveness of parenteral iron, using intravenous iron sucrose (IVIS) therapy against the standard regimen of oral iron (OI) therapy for managing iron-deficiency anemia (IDA) among pregnant women in a natural primary care setting in...

This research focuses on accurately forecasting steel wire mesh demand to ensure timely order fulfillment. Various univariate time series forecasting methods were employed, including Prophet, Support Vector Regression (SVR), 1-Dimensional Convolutional Neural Network (1D-CNN), Recurrent Neural...

The transition of the steel sector to carbon neutrality requires significant investment. In this study, we aim to better understand the scale of investment required for a transition to hydrogen-based steelmaking and the ability of listed steelmakers to finance this investment. First, we analyze...

Industrial trade unions in Europe and North America often struggle to develop a coherent strategy on climate change and overcoming fossil fuel production patterns. Trade union policy in the German steel industry is an interesting example of this: the "green" restructuring is firmly in favour, as...

This paper investigates the perspectives of stakeholder groups in the plastic and steel value chains on transitioning toward a circular economy (CE). Through semistructured interviews with 31 business stakeholders, we analyze business strategies, key factors, challenges and opportunities, as...

The iron/steel industry is one of the highest emitting sectors, contributing 7-9% of overall global emissions. As population and economic growth will demand more steel as a key building block of society, the need to decarbonize the sector is critical. This paper assesses the financing...

This paper studies the availability of post-consumer steel scrap in Europe until 2050. We introduce the indicator potentially available domestic post-consumer scrap (PADPS) which measures the amount of (steel) scrap from obsolete products available for recycling, prior to trade in scrap. We...

This qualitative research aimed 1) to study the acceptance of digital currency payment in this industry classified by a group comprising buyers and sellers, 2) to study the confidence in the acceptance of digital currency payment in Thai steel industry, classified by buyers and sellers using...

In China's steel industry, hot issues such as "merger and reorganization" and "zombie firms" are closely tied to firm exit. This paper studies the selection mechanism of steel firms from a perspective of advanced technology adoption. Intelligent manufacturing, as an advanced technology with...

Large production of steel and forgings with exquisite shapes and designs of different metals like aluminum, titanium etc. is manufactured to meet the demand of different customers. It is essential that any industry should achieve their targeted value for the survival and the growth of the...

Flue gas desulfurization steel slag (DS), a solid waste produced by coal power plants and steelworks, was proposed as a new amendment for the remediation of saline-sodic soil. A pot experiment including three dosages of DS (1%, 5%, 10% w/w) and whether it combined with fulvic acid (FA) was...

In the early 1950s, the drive to find a practical solution to European antagonisms led to the construction of the first Common Market at the European scale, between Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. At the heart of the Coal and Steel Community, was the idea that...

Background: The emissions of ships in ports are increasingly becoming an issue, and particularly those of NOx, SOx, and PM, rather than CO2. One realistic solution for reducing GHG emissions is cold ironing technology. This paper highlights the socio-economic impact of increasing utilization of...
