In Salzgitter, Germany, a significant milestone was achieved with the laying of the cornerstone for one of Europe's largest green hydrogen production plants. The plant, set to start operations in 2026, will play a key role in producing 9,000 tons of green hydrogen annually for the production of low-carbon steel as part of the SALCOS® program. This initiative signifies a crucial step towards achieving virtually carbon-free steel production and marks the beginning of industrial hydrogen utilization. The 100 MW electrolysis plant, to be provided by ANDRITZ using HydrogenPro's technology, is essential for realizing the innovative project and supporting the company's growth strategy focused on decarbonization. Gerd Baresch emphasizes the importance of government support in creating favorable conditions for green production, emphasizing competitive grid costs and the development of a hydrogen economy. The project underscores a commitment to sustainability, green technology, and the transformation of industrial processes towards a more environmentally friendly future.
