In 12 months, we’ve seen:
📉 Lower climate ambition
🗑️ Scrapped safeguards & deregulation
🛑 Decarbonisation delays
💥 Dirty EU-US deals

total amount of extra tanks needed (recent Brueghel report) = 1400*50 ton/tank= 70K ton of steel. Total EU steel production ca 130 million ton. So you've got a burning lead market of 0,05% of total output.

🤬But guess if we are at the table? NO, WE ARE NOT!
⛔Corporate capture instead of ensuring public interest, climate action & social justice are at the heart of the steel transition. @ec.europa.eu

While claiming they need 💶 for the energy transition, big industry is feeding shareholders the bulk of its profit pie.
