Salzgitter awarded €1b for hydrogen-based production
Salzgitter, Germany's second-largest steelmaker, has been awarded almost €1billion in government funding for its hydrogen-based steel production project, SALCOS.
Through SALCOS, Salzgitter hopes to set up a 100-megawatt electrolyser, a direct reduction unit and an electric arc furnace to replace part of its conventional blast furnace route.
The project will produce around 1.9Mt of raw steel and cut more than 2.5Mt of carbon emissions a year, according to Germany’s economy ministry.
