"Get an impression of the Salzgitter
Group"

Together with external partners, the Salzgitter Group is researching new technologies for the production of steel with lower CO2 emissions. The activities for the direct avoidance of CO2 emissions (Carbon Direct Avoidance, CDA) in steel production are summarized under the project title SAlzgitter Low CO2-Steelmaking (SALCOS®).

Wind H₂ is our entry into regenerative hydrogen production for low CO₂ steel production. The aim of the sector coupling project "Windwasserstoff Salzgitter" is to generate hydrogen in Salzgitter by means of electrolysis and electricity from wind power. This is intended to create an important basis for the future use of larger quantities of hydrogen to reduce direct CO₂ emissions in steel production.

The Salzgitter Group is participating with international partners in the "GrInHy" project – Green Industrial Hydrogen via reversible high-temperature electrolysis. Within the project "GrInHy 2.0", new ways of producing hydrogen are being researched that could make a contribution to CO₂-reduced steel production in the future.
