thyssenkrupp will build a €2B hydrogen-powered direct reduction plant at its Duisberg site. As part of its tkH2Steel transformation project, coal-based blast furnaces will be replaced by hydrogen-powered direct reduction plants. In this way, thyssenkrupp is accelerating the start of low-CO2 steel production.

This enables less coal to be used for the reduction process, resulting in reduced emissions. To this end, various opportunities for CO2 reduction are being exploited within the existing technology framework. The decisive step towards climate-neutral steel production will be the construction of hydrogen-based direct reduction plants.
