German steelmaker Salzgitter has expressed confidence that policymakers will provide the support necessary to realise a large-scale hydrogen project to decarbonise its steelworks, which are responsible for nearly one percent of the country鈥檚 total CO2聽emissions. 鈥淵es, that鈥檚 my expectation,鈥� said company CEO Heinz J枚rg Fuhrmann at the industry trade fair in Hanover. 鈥淢any success stories of the present received initial [government] funding 鈥� just think of Airbus. I would claim that we are the Airbus of steelmaking and therefore, I鈥檓 optimistic,鈥� he added. 鈥淲e have a very concrete proposal for policymakers [鈥�] this project is unique in the world.鈥�
The Salzgitter steelworks currently emit around eight million tonnes of CO2聽per year. The company has developed a 鈥渢echnically feasible but not economically viable鈥� concept to replace the fossil fuels used in conventional steelmaking with a rising share of renewable hydrogen in order to reduce emissions, a project dubbed 鈥溾�� (Salzgitter Low CO2聽steelmaking). Fuhrmann said the project鈥檚 first phase, which would cut the company's carbon output by one quarter, could be implemented by 2025 at a cost of around 1.2 billion euros. But he added that Salzgitter needs more than just initial financing. He added lower electricity prices are also required, because otherwise the steel will be much more expensive to make.

The steel industry is one of the world鈥檚 largest carbon emitters and accounts for around seven percent of global emissions. But decarbonising the sector has barely begun, and it remains one of the most difficult parts of the energy transition. The industry uses carbon to smelt iron ore, and in existing processes, CO2聽emissions are unavoidable. At the Hanover fair, Swedish power company Vattenfall聽聽plans to replace coking coal with fossil-free electricity and hydrogen in cooperation with Swedish steelmaker SSAB and ore miner LKAB.
