In Salzgitter, Germany, a significant milestone was reached with the groundbreaking of a 100 MW electrolysis plant dedicated to green hydrogen production for low-carbon steel manufacturing. This venture, part of the SALCOS® initiative by Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH, signifies a pivotal step towards achieving virtually carbon-free steel production. The collaboration with technology giants ANDRITZ and HydrogenPro underscores the strategic importance of green hydrogen in industrial sectors aiming for decarbonization. Scheduled for completion by 2026, the electrolysis plant is set to generate 9,000 tons of green hydrogen annually, paving the way for a sustainable steelmaking process. The success of SALCOS® relies not only on technological advancements but also on governmental support to create an enabling environment for green production. By 2033, Salzgitter aims to fully transition to virtually carbon-free steel production, showcasing a commitment to sustainability and driving the hydrogen economy forward.
