Salzgitter AG, a German steel company, has announced the commencement of a tender process to source hydrogen for the first phase of its SALCOS® – Salzgitter Low CO2 Steelmaking transformation program. This initiative aims to transition the steelmaking process to a more sustainable model with lower carbon emissions. Interested companies can now register and submit bids to supply hydrogen for this transformation program. The plan includes the utilization of up to 150,000 tons of hydrogen annually at the Salzgitter location. To support this, Salzgitter AG is constructing a 100 MW electrolysis plant on-site, expected to produce approximately 9,000 tons of hydrogen per year starting in 2026. This electrolysis plant will play a crucial role in the company's efforts to reduce its carbon footprint and adopt greener steelmaking practices. The move towards hydrogen utilization aligns with global trends in sustainable energy and reflects Salzgitter AG's commitment to environmental responsibility. The tender process represents a significant step towards achieving the goals of the SALCOS® program and improving the overall sustainability of the steel industry.
