The Clean Steel Partnership (CSP) is aligned with the EU’s goal and policies to achieve climate neutrality by 2050 – the European Green Deal, the Clean Planet for All strategy and the Paris Agreement. It will thus contribute to fighting climate change and moving towards climate neutrality by 2050.
CSP will develop lean CO2 technologies, and test these at large scales until 2030. These technologies are required to reduce CO2 from EU steel production by 80-95% compared to 1990 levels, ultimately leading to climate neutrality.
CSP will ensure a coordinated, sustainable approach across stakeholders, technologies, production routes and countries.
CSP nurtures the long-term vision of supporting the European leadership in the transformation of the steel industry into a climate neutral sector while preserving the competitiveness and viability of the EU steel industry making sure that EU
production will be able to meet the growing demand for steel products.
By 2027 it will implement at least 2 demonstration projects leading to a 50% reduction in CO2 emissions and achieve technology readines level 8 by 2030 in at least 12 areas funded by the partnership.
The EU Clean Steel Partnership (CSP) has started in June 2021 in the Frame of Horizon Europe in synergy with the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS). The public and private side agreed on a dedicated Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The public side is represented by DG RTD and DG Grow while the private side is represented by ESTEP. The main decision body for CSP is the Partnershipboard.

Partnerships group the EC and private and/or public partners, to coordinate and streamline the research & innovation initiatives and funding in some selected key domains.
The Miricle project, ‘Mine Risk Clearance for Europe’, obtained funding under the European Defence Industrial Development programme call ‘Underwater control contributing to resilience at sea’. The main objective of the project was to achieve a European and sovereign capacity in future mine warfare and create a path for the next generation ‘made in Europe’ countermeasure solutions. In order to realise this objective, Miricle addressed various stages: studies, design, prototyping and testing. These stages inter alia included the successful testing of an XL Unmanned Underwater Vehicle, a protototyped mine disposal system and multiple innovative systems to detect buried mines. Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), was one of the five Belgian partners in the consortium. Within the project, VLIZ was able to forward its research on the acoustic imaging of the seabed to spatially map and visualize buried structures and objects - in this case buried mines - in the highest possible detail. VLIZ also led the work on ‘Port and Offshore Testing’, building on the expertise of the institute in the field of marine operations and technology.
