ABOUT THE PROJECT<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

The Safe&Clean project<\/strong> focuses on demonstrating that low-CO2<\/sub> steels with high recycled content can safely meet the stringent requirements of modern automotive safety components.<\/strong> <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Steel remains the most widely used material in cars due to its balance of strength, durability, and environmental efficiency. However, adapting low-emission steels at industrial scale requires understanding its behaviour under critical conditions: crashes, long-term fatigue, and post-assembly performance. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The Safe&Clean addresses these challenges by analysing two industrial use cases and evaluating how cleaner and sustainable steels perform in high-responsibility automotive parts. The project will analyse the influence of impurities present on steel grades processed by low-CO2<\/sub> production routes on critical aspects related to steel manufacturability and safety performance. Special focus will be put on key safety factors such as crash performance, fatigue behaviour, weldability, and structural integrity of assembled components. Additionally, Safe&Clean will provide efficient testing methodologies to accelerate the validation and acceptance of scrap-based high-performance steels for automotive applications. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The project aims at generating reliable data to increase industry confidence on low CO2<\/sub> steels, facilitating broader adoption of these sustainable materials in the automotive sector. It also contributes to EU goals for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, promoting resource-efficient production, and supporting the Clean Steel Partnership<\/a> and the European Green Deal<\/a> for a climate-neutral industry by 2050. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
