Voestalpine is advancing its carbon-neutral goals by securing hydrogen supplies and constructing a new electric arc furnace. The company has already begun delivering low-carbon steel to automotive suppliers, marking a physical shift away from traditional blast furnaces.

Rising input costs, a slump in exports to the US, and potential corporate tax hikes in Austria are putting pressure on the business and its stock price.
