Within the SymbioSteel project, the current state of European research into Industrial Symbiosis involving the steel industry will be investigated. SymbioSteel will catalogue, analyze and disseminate key knowledge about Industrial Symbiosis gained through research projects in Europe. The goal is to facilitate the spread and adoption of technologies that can enable a more circular economy.

Objectives
The main goal of the project is to promote the broader adoption of industrial symbiosis solutions in the steel sector. This will be achieved by leveraging and sharing knowledge about the most promising existing results and by creating new opportunities for progress through collaboration with other industrial sectors. To achieve this, SymbioSteel focuses on the following key objectives:
- Monitoring and assessing the impact of industrial symbiosis initiatives on the steel sector through suitably selected and/or defined relevant Key Performance Indicators (KPIs).
- Assessment of industrial symbiosis with respect to transforming the steel industry to decarbonized next-generation steelmaking.
- Development of guidelines on how to enhance industrial symbiosis in the steel industry through intersectoral cooperation activities.
- Meeting skills demand and attracting young talents to support the development and deployment of innovative technologies for industrial symbiosis in the steel sector.
Financiers
This project has received funding from the Research Fund for Coal & Steel (RFCS) under Grant Agreement No.101156509.
Consortium – 6 partners from 5 EU countries
The consortium of six partners from five EU countries is highly skilled and experienced, with each member contributing unique expertise to drive innovation in industrial symbiosis and sustainable steel production.
The team includes two companies within the steel industry, two research institutes, and two universities.
