SUMMSEED (SUstainable Medium Manganese StEEls for cost-efficient applications in heavy inDustries), funded by the Research Fund for Coal and Steel (RFCS), brings together academic and technological partners to develop more sustainable medium-manganese steels that meet industrial quality and cost requirements while offering properties similar to current materials.

The project responds directly to demand from mining and heavy machinery sectors for steel that is more environmentally sustainable without sacrificing the industrial performance characteristics their equipment depends on. This is a concrete, practical example of the advanced-materials innovation this ecosystem prioritises: not a novel exotic material requiring an entirely new supply chain, but an incremental, cost-efficient reformulation of a material heavy-machinery manufacturers already use at scale, making adoption realistically achievable rather than aspirational.
