METEC 2023
The metallurgy industry in the spotlight – the METEC 2023 supporting programme
12 - 16 June 2023 Düsseldorf
The 11th International Metallurgical Trade Fair with Congresses is presenting a high calibre programme! Visitors look forward to this top class supporting programme and special shows from 12 to 16 June 2023 when METEC becomes the place to be in order to keep up with the giant strides
the branch is taking on the road towards future.
In 2023 again the accompanying confer- ence of METEC trade fair, organized by the Steel Institut VDEh
METEC & 6th ESTAD (European Steel Technology and Application Days)
12 - 16 June 2023 - Düsseldorf, Germany
Only those who continue to develop their businesses remain competitive. The pre- requisite for this development means being constantly informed about the latest and most sophisticated technological advances, exchanging ideas and initiating and expanding networks with clients, partners and suppliers. The 6th European Steel Technology and Application Days (ESTAD) 2023 ran in parallel with the METEC Trade Fair.
The Steel Institute VDEh and its partners offered visitors the perfect opportunity to reach their objectives. At this event you acquired the latest information on new ideas and developments as well as on the state-of-the-art in metallurgical process technologies for iron and steel production, steel materials and steel application.
The Bright World of ecoMetals
Messe Düsseldorf’s ecoMetals Campaign refers to the ecological path of the casting and metal processing industries and pro- motes exhibiting companies that invest in innovative, sustainable and economically competitive technologies. The ecoMetals brand focuses on three fields of sustainabil-
ity: Resources, Innovation and Production and/or Processes.
Trade visitors can easily identify the award-winning innovations and are guided to the respective exhibitors at GIFA, METEC, THERMPROCESS and NEWCAST by way
of complimentary daily Guided Tours – so-called ecoMetals Trails.
Green metals - Breaking into decarboni- sation
From e-cars to wind turbines: innova-
tions made of iron, steel and non-ferrous metals are becoming the standard for a climate-neutral industry. However, whether businesses make it or break it in the metal industries depends on how successfully they can decarbonise within the next three decades.
The production of ferrous, light and non-ferrous metals is not only energy-in- tensive; due to the nature of the process, iron production in particular still relies on using coal, both chemically and physically, and thus produces CO2 emissions. Found- ries and steel mills, along with aluminum, copper, nickel and zinc smelters, are taking on the challenge to become more envi- ronmentally friendly. The ecoMetals-Trails show the paths you can take to transforma- tion.
With new technology comes new pro- cesses
The Bright World of Metals takes the green path to a climate-neutral future by showing these processes, which aim to reduce
CO2 and eliminate it entirely by increasing implementation of renewable forms of energy and hydrogen instead of coal. The first green steel is already on the market. Green metallurgy – foundries, steelmakers and non-ferrous metal smelters are on the path to climate neutrality.
