FOSSA1 aimed to initiate the transition towards carbon-neutral steelmaking in Finland and it concentrates on the applications made of fossil-free Steel. FOSSA concentrates on the applicability of the fossil-free steel. The results of FOSSA can be expeditiously extended to Finnish steel production, workshops and end users, enabling them to strengthen their leading position in fossil-free steels and steel applications. The knowledge and novel concepts that need to be developed in this project will become the essential basis for the new steel products and business innovations.
