Also known as Salzgitter Group.
chemXplore tracks 2 projects involving Salzgitter, of which 2 are active.
Closest to start-up first.
Acquire Duisburg steelworks, convert site to electric-arc furnace, cut workforce from ~3,000 to ~1,000 and aim for ~90% CO2 reduction.
Steel unit's outlook improves after restructuring and IG Metall agreement; EU trade protections and CBAM increase stability. Goal: autonomous, profitable steel business; parent may keep minority stake
Order intake fell due to prior major contracts. Sales dropped 8%, but EBIT rose 10% via APEX program. Transformation progresses with strategic moves in various segments.
Agreement reached for share transfer; slab supply to thyssenkrupp Steel secured until 2028. Approval from governing bodies and Vallourec S.A. required.
A 65 MWp solar plant in Saxony-Anhalt supplies renewable energy for green steel, cutting CO₂ emissions by 23,000 tonnes annually under a 15-year PPA.
The agreement provides 125 GWh/year of photovoltaic energy, reducing CO₂ emissions by 37,000 tons annually, and supports Selex's decarbonization and energy cost stabilization goals.
The agreement supports logistics centers and supermarkets with wind and solar power, adding 3,500 EV charging points in Spain and Portugal.
A 100 MW electrolysis plant will produce 9,000 tons of green hydrogen annually by 2026 for CO2-free steel production. The project is backed by German subsidies and Salzgitter AG's funds.
