<p>To reduce CO2 emissions, Salzgitter AG is introducing innovative technologies for climate-friendly steel production. Now another technological breakthrough has been achieved within the GrInHy2.0 hydrogen project. By using green hydrogen, the steel and technology group Salzgitter AG is a pioneer of sustainable steel production technologies. To drastically reduce its carbon footprint by 2033, the company has implemented the program SALCOS Salzgitter Low CO2 Steelmaking as essential aspect of their new Salzgitter AG 2030 strategy.</p><p>Part of this initiative is the EU-funded hydrogen project GrInHy2.0, demonstrating the world’s largest high-temperature electrolyzer to produce green hydrogen.</p><p>The high-temperature electrolyzer was developed and manufactured by the German electrolysis company Sunfire. Based on the innovative SOEC (solid oxide electrolysis cell) technology, the electrolyzer uses renewable electricity to split water into hydrogen and oxygen. Electrolysis per se is not a new process – but Sunfire’s SOEC technology is the most efficient on the market.</p><p>Besides Salzgitter Flachstahl and Sunfire, also the Salzgitter Mannesmann Forschung, SMS Group company Paul Wurth, Tenova and the French research center CEA are part of the GrInHy2.0 consortium.</p>
