Metals Industry Sustainability Decarbonizing Metals Production: How Digitalization Drives Transformation
The metals industry is undergoing critical transformation towards net-zero. Reducing emissions also implies major technological challenges in finding ways to do so efficiently. Furthermore, digital transformation is also necessary to effectively support the transformation of production processes at all levels. In our webinar, representatives from Tata and Breitenfeld Edelstahl will share their success stories of implementing digital solutions as part of their decarbonization and digital transformation framework. Also, experts from Qoncept and PSI will present digital approaches to sustainable raw material optimization, product carbon footprint tracking, and internal scrap management to promote circularity.
The webinar will help you to stay ahead of regulatory changes in sustainability initiatives, increase transparency and efficiency in the use of raw materials and energy, as well as establish trust from investors and customers.
