Initiatives and Developments

"Steel and Technology" is at once a philosophy and a way of life for Salzgitter AG.

Steel is more than just a material. We encounter it in every aspect of our lives, for it is infinitely adaptable. Let us show you some excerpts from the word of Salzgitter steel and introduce you to some typical projects, applications and joint initiatives.


SALCOS® - Our program for reducing CO2 in the steel production of the future

Together with external partners, the Salzgitter Group conducts research on new technologies in order to decrease CO2 in production processes – with a first approach at the group-owned Salzgitter steelworks and a larger perspective of fundamental applicability at every site with similar, so-called “integrated” steel production. The activities related to the direct avoidance of CO2 emissions (Carbon Direct Avoidance, CDA) in the steel production are subsumed under our program of SAlzgitter Low CO2 Steelmaking (SALCOS®).
