Many European metal manufacturers might face to shut down their production because of high electricity costs because Russia stopped supplying natural gas to Europe and made energy prices hike. Kwa hiyo, the European non-ferrous metals association (Eurometaux) indicated that the EU should solve the problems.

Decreasing production of zinc, alumini, and silicon in Europe made the European shortage supply of steel, magari, and construction industries increase.

Eurometaux advised the EU to support the companies, which faced difficult operations, kwa kuongeza kizingiti cha Euro milioni 50. Msaada huo ni pamoja na kwamba serikali inaweza kuboresha fedha kwa viwanda vinavyotumia nishati nyingi ili kupunguza gharama zao za bei ya juu ya kaboni kutokana na Mfumo wa Biashara wa Uzalishaji.
