Salzgitter, a prominent German steel manufacturer based in Salzgitter, is making strides in sustainable steel production by building one of Europe's largest green hydrogen facilities. The initiative, set to produce 9,000 tons of hydrogen annually starting in 2026, marks a significant advancement in the SALCOS(r) (Salzgitter Low CO2 Steelmaking) project aimed at reducing carbon emissions. The hydrogen facility will utilize advanced high-pressure alkaline electrolysis technology from HydrogenPro and a 100 MW electrolysis plant from ANDRITZ. The company's Chief Technology Officer, Gerhard Baresh, highlighted the proactive approach towards in-house hydrogen production while calling for governmental support in creating favorable conditions for the emerging hydrogen economy. Energiekontor's solar park ventures, with a combined peak capacity of 113 MW, will play a crucial role in providing the necessary electricity for Salzgitter Flachstahl's operations. The strategic significance of this construction was emphasized by ANDRITZ's Executive Vice President of Green Hydrogen, Sami Pelkonen, who underscored its role in advancing decarbonization and supporting the shift towards sustainable steel production. The overarching SALCOS(r) project includes plans for a direct reduction unit and an electric arc furnace, with the ultimate goal of achieving low-CO2 steel production by 2033. The initiative reflects broader trends in sustainable industry practices and global decarbonization strategies.
