“Climate protection only with the industry”

Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung

Low prices of Chinese products, the reform of the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS), as well as levies connected to the Energiewende in Germany, all put a heavy burden on the German steel industry, writes Ulrich Grillo, president of the Federation of German Industries (BDI), in a guest article in Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung. This was bad for the climate, as European steel production led to significantly less CO₂-emissions, compared to other parts in the world. The guest article is part of a newspaper special on the German steel industry.
