German steel company Salzgitter Group announced that, together with German technology company Sunfire, they have completed the EU-funded Green Industrial Hydrogen (GrlnHy2.0) project with a record production of almost 100 tons of green hydrogen for green steel production.
« GrInHy2.0 is an important part of our SALCOS low carbon steel project. Green hydrogen is essential for the production of mild steel because it is very effective in reducing carbon emissions. With GrInHy2.0 we have gained valuable insights into the integration of electrolysis into our production processes,” said Alexander Redenius from subsidiary Salzgitter Mannesmann Forschung.
The green hydrogen produced is fed directly into the hydrogen network of the subsidiary Salzgitter Flachstahl - to date, nearly 100 tons of hydrogen gas have been used in annealing processes and galvanizing plants for steel finishing.
