Germany, as the leading steel producer in Europe, is playing a crucial role in the decarbonization of the steel industry. The country is focusing on electrification and the adoption of green hydrogen to drive this transformation. By using green hydrogen in direct iron reduction processes, German steel plants are expected to achieve a significant reduction in emissions, approximately 28 mt CO2 per ton of hydrogen used. This shift towards green hydrogen will enable low-carbon steel plants to leverage a national hydrogen pipeline system, facilitating the displacement of traditional coal and gas feedstocks. The overall goal is to cut down on carbon emissions and move towards a more sustainable steel production process. This initiative aligns with Germany's commitment to environmental sustainability and marks a significant step towards achieving the country's climate targets. The steel industry's adoption of green hydrogen represents a positive development in the broader context of transitioning towards cleaner energy sources and reducing carbon footprints in industrial sectors.
