Defining a Common Perspective for a Sustainable Steel Industry

2012 Speakers | Testimonials | Audience — Past Attendees

Platts is delighted to announce that the 3rd Annual SBB Green Steel Strategies 2012 conference will this year be taking place in Berlin for the very first time.

With the cost to steelmakers of the EU's carbon pricing scheme likely to increase drastically in 2013, and similar schemes springing up in a number of other steelmaking regions, the steel industry has little time to gain a full understanding of what will change in their business and marketplace. Platts SBB Green Steel Strategies 2012 conference will offer unique insight into the fast approaching developments that are set to affect the entire sector.

A day and half of presentations will focus on producer responses, possible import taxes, the CO2 trading mechanisms and future carbon prices. The conference will also include an increased emphasis on the initiatives of steelmakers from outside of the European Union.

Confirmed Speakers for 2012 Include:

	Hans Jürgen Kerkhoff, President, German Steel Federation
	Dr. Edwin Basson, Director General, World Steel Association
	Danny Croon, Environment Director, EUROFER
	Dr. Hans-Jorn Weddige, Vice President Environment and Climate, ThyssenKrupp
	José Otávio Andrade Franco, Environment Manager, AcelorMittal Brasil

"The (Platts) SBB Green Steel Technology Conference was a great opportunity to hear from all relevant players about the state-of-the-art and their visions towards green or even sustainable steel."

Chair of Sustainable Engineering, Berlin Technical University

"The (Platts) SBB Green Steel Strategies conference succeeded in being both authoritative in its coverage and stimulating in its presentations of new ideas and material. It filled an important gap."

Senior Advisor, EBRD

Platts acquired the Steel Business Briefing Group, a leading information provider to the global steel market through its two core businesses, Steel Business Briefing (SBB) and The Steel Index (TSI) in July 2011. The acquisition of the SBB Group enables Platts to provide customers and the markets with the benefit of a larger, highly experienced editorial team, a dramatically expanded number of price assessments, and a far more expansive product and conference mix.

Audience

SBB/Platts Green Steel Strategies conference will once again welcome over 130 senior level professionals from across the globe to discuss how the industry can work together to define a common perspective for a sustainable sector industry.
