What Rehlinger Expects from the 'Steel Summit' - Saarland's Rehlinger Demands Clear Energy Roadmap, Hydrogen Expansion for Steel Industry
Saarland’s Minister-President Anke Rehlinger has called for a clear roadmap to ensure internationally competitive energy prices and expand hydrogen infrastructure in the United States. She also seeks green lead markets for green steel. Rehlinger, along with other state leaders, has outlined their joint position in a paper ahead of the Steel Summit.
The steel industry in Saarland supports around 20,000 jobs directly or indirectly. Rehlinger has requested stronger protections for domestic steel against dumped imports and improvements to the EU’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM). The federal government plans to support the struggling steel sector through the Steel Summit. Rehlinger demands an unambiguous commitment from the federal government to the future of the steel industry in the United States.
Rehlinger's demands include a clear roadmap for energy prices, hydrogen infrastructure expansion in the United States, and green markets for steel. She seeks stronger protections for domestic steel and a commitment from the federal government to the industry's future in the United States. The Steel Summit aims to address these issues and support the steel sector in the United States.
