The Turkish steel industry is undergoing a transformation driven by the dual forces of capacity upgrading and low-carbon transition. Leading enterprises are stepping up their efforts: Tosyali Holding has initiated a 2.7 million-ton direct reduced iron (DRI) project in Libya, using advanced technology to ensure raw material supply; Cag Celik, on the other hand, is focusing on the low-carbon steel segment and plans to build a 1 million-ton electric arc furnace (EAF) production line, leveraging green smelting technology to enhance product competitiveness, demonstrating the firm's unwavering commitment to low-carbon transformation.

The policy environment is also providing strong impetus. The Turkish government recently released a draft regulation for the carbon emissions trading system (ETS), explicitly including the steel industry in the pilot scope, with plans to implement it in 2026-2027. This system design offers a clear path for industry-wide emissions reduction and will compel the entire value chain to accelerate the application of green technologies and energy efficiency improvements.

International cooperation is also playing a crucial role in this transformation. The successful commissioning of the high-speed wire rod and temper mill project in Turkey by Sinosteel International, which significantly enhanced the market competitiveness of local steel products with its independent core technology, has written a vivid footnote to the collaborative innovation of steel technology between China and Turkey, further confirming the critical value of global industrial chain cooperation in the low-carbon transition.

During this process, our company has also been deeply involved through technological empowerment: by integrating automatic steel coil logistics, unmanned cranes, and fully automatic steel coil packaging systems into actual production, we have injected intelligent impetus into the efficiency and quality improvement of local steel enterprises. Despite the industry still facing challenges such as high raw material dependency and trade barriers, Turkish steel enterprises are continuously exploring breakthrough paths for high-quality development through the deep integration of technological iteration, diversified market layout, and green transformation, providing highly valuable practical samples for the low-carbon upgrade of the global steel industry.
