thyssenkrupp greenlights construction of €2B hydrogen-powered direct reduction plant for low-CO2 steel

Green Car Congress

We are firmly convinced of this, and this is also borne out by this investment, which heralds a new era for steel production in the Ruhr region. The DRI must then be melted down into a hot metal-like product so that it can be further processed into high-quality steel. The liquid product is processed into the proven steel grades there.
