Uniper and Salzgitter AG have signed a cooperation agreement with the aim of supplying the SALCOS project in Salzgitter for the production of climate-friendly steel with green hydrogen at competitive conditions from Uniper. The cooperation aims to supply hydrogen from Wilhelmshaven. Uniper is developing two projects for green hydrogen there: On the one hand, an import terminal for ammonia is planned, which will be able to convert the ammonia back into hydrogen. On the other hand, Uniper is planning a large electrolysis that will generate green hydrogen with an output of up to 1000 MW. For this purpose, a direct connection of offshore wind farms to be newly built in the North Sea is to be examined. The electrolysis and the entire downstream hydrogen infrastructure act like a shock absorber that stores the wind energy as hydrogen and makes it transportable when there is strong wind. Uniper and Salzgitter AG will work together with other well-known partners to supply Salzgitter via the emerging German hydrogen pipeline network and to develop cavern storage facilities. Both companies are jointly driving the ambitious vision of decarbonizing German industry in support of climate goals and are contributing to their achievement with such concrete projects.Uniper is an international energy company and a pioneer in the field of hydrogen. With around 35 gigawatts of installed capacity, Uniper is one of the largest power generators in the world. Uniper's core activities include both power generation in Europe and Russia and global energy trading, as well as a broad gas portfolio that makes Uniper one of the leading gas companies in Europe. Uniper is also a reliable partner for municipalities, municipal utilities and industrial companies when it comes to planning and implementing innovative CO 2-mitigating solutions on their way to decarbonizing their activities. Together with Fortum, Uniper is already actively building up its own electrolysis capacities, particularly in Germany, the Netherlands and the UK as well as in Sweden, Finland and Denmark.
