In Salzgitter, Germany, the cornerstone was laid for a groundbreaking project, the construction of one of Europe's largest production plants for green hydrogen. This plant, set to commence operations in 2026, will produce approximately 9,000 tons of green hydrogen annually to facilitate the production of carbon-reduced steel. The initiative, known as SALCOS® - Salzgitter Low CO2 Steelmaking, is a vital step in the journey towards achieving virtually carbon-free steel production. The 100 MW electrolysis plant crucial to this endeavor is being supplied by ANDRITZ through HydrogenPro's technology. The Technical Director of Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH expressed the significance of this milestone, emphasizing the company's commitment to low-carbon steel production and the necessity of governmental support for green production initiatives. Additionally, the Executive Vice President of Green Hydrogen at ANDRITZ highlighted the company's pride in contributing to climate-friendly steel production through this innovative project. The SALCOS® project is being implemented in stages, involving a direct reduction plant, an electric arc furnace, and the 100 MW electrolysis plant. Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH aims to introduce products manufactured through this green process to the market by 2026, with the complete transition to virtually carbon-free steel production scheduled for 2033.
