The low/zero-carbon energy future affects the stainless-steel industry in numerous ways. There has been a trend towards green (decarbonized) steel production, and the recyclability of stainless steel makes it highly suitable during the energy transition. Perhaps even more importantly, stainless steel is crucial for the new-energy sectors of hydrogen, CCUS and renewables, without however relinquishing its role in the traditional industries such as gas-fired power plants, petrochemicals, or oil & gas. The tubes, pipes, and fittings (TPF) sector are especially geared towards catering for both the new and the old industries.
