Moeve and ArcelorMittal launch G2G innovation platform for green-molecule steel decarbonization
- Platform established as a 50-50 partnership under the Green Molecules to Green Steel (G2G) initiative.
- Financing will combine partner resources and public support; Sekuens will contribute regionally and other public/private parties may join.
- Focus on green molecules: biogas/biomethane, renewable hydrogen and derivatives, and second‑generation biofuels, plus catalysts, CO2 capture, biotechnology and AI.
- Aim to develop industrial demonstrators that will be scaled at production facilities via an open innovation hub for startups, universities and tech centres.
Partnership and objective
Moeve and ArcelorMittal will form a 50-50 platform under their Green Molecules to Green Steel (G2G) partnership to develop, scale and implement disruptive technologies that use green molecules to enable low‑emissions steel and broader industrial decarbonization.
Funding and governance
The platform will be financed through a mix of the partners' own resources and public support. Sekuens will contribute via existing and future regional innovation initiatives, and additional regional, national or private participants may join if aligned with the platform’s objectives and governance.
Technical focus and activities
Workstreams will centre on green molecules — biomethane and biogas, renewable hydrogen and derivatives, and second‑generation biofuels — and supporting solutions such as more efficient catalysts, CO2 capture to add value to CO2, biotechnology for process improvements, and AI for new materials. The partnership will develop industrial demonstrators intended for scale‑up at production sites.
Collaboration and regional impact
The initiative will be driven by Moeve and ArcelorMittal innovation centres as an open, collaborative hub for startups, universities and technology centres, aiming to strengthen Asturias’s innovation ecosystem, attract talent and enhance competitiveness in the energy‑steel transition.
