The green transformation of Germany’s largest steel producer is taking shape. Today, thyssenkrupp’s CEO Martina Merz presented Federal Economics Minister Peter Altmaier and North Rhine-Westphalia’s State Premier Armin Laschet the concept for the construction of the first direct reduction plant with an integrated melting unit (blast furnace 2.0) at the Duisburg site.
Federal Economics Minister Peter Altmaier: “Today, thyssenkrupp is sending a strong signal for ambitious industrial climate protection. Steel is a key German industry. We must do everything we can to ensure that climate-friendly and competitive green steel is produced in Germany in the future. With the Handlungskonzept Stahl (Steel Action Plan), we have defined the framework conditions. Now it's a matter of translating them into concrete projects. The planned direct reduction plant is an excellent example for this“.
Armin Laschet, State Premier of North Rhine-Westphalia: “With its uniquely dense and networked corporate and research landscape, North Rhine-Westphalia is an ideal location to move forward and become a model for a European center for the development of climate-neutral industries. This is also reflected in this trend-setting project at the Duisburg steel location: thyssenkrupp has the opportunity to write industrial history once again if the company resolutely moves forward in its transformation to a climate-neutral industry and the development of green steel. We as politicians will support the industry in this. This is a challenge for everyone: Federal and state governments, but also the European Union.”
