Jernkontoret's Energy network
An extensive network intended to spread knowledge on energy efficiency and to organize interchange of experience within the iron- and steel industries. The network is coordinated by Jernkontoret.
Jernkontoret's Energy network has around 200 members, the majority working with energy issues in the iron- and steel industries. Other representatives come from universities, university colleges, technique providers, the forest industry and national and local authorities.
As a rule network meetings are arranged once or twice a year. Every meeting includes a seminar on a specific theme on which expert operators are invited to speak. The meetings are often hosted by a company where a tour of the works is offered.
You are invited to participate
If you would like to join the network, please contact Jernkontoret.
