Background

History

In the 1950s, a pig iron works with six blast furnaces was built in Eisenhüttenstadt, Germany.[1]

In 1984 a turnkey oxygen conversion (Linz-Donawitz process) based steelworks was installed by Austrian supplier Voestalpine.[2]

In 1997, a new blast furnace (blast furnace 5A) was built.[3]

In 2006, the plant was taken over by ArcelorMittal and has been known as ArcelorMittal Eisenhüttenstadt since.[4]

Transition

In March 2021, ArcelorMittal announced plans to transition the Eisenhüttenstadt plant from BF-BOF production to DRI-EAF by 2030.[5] They will add 1750 ttpa of EAF capacity and an innovative DRI plant with unknown capacity.[6][7] In the first phase of the decarbonization drive, the company will replace two blast furnaces in its Bremen and Eisenhüttenstadt plants with DRI-EAF for the production of 3.6 mtpa of crude steel.[8] The company is currently converting two blast furnaces- one in Bremen and one in Eisenhuttenstadt to inject natural gas instead of coal in the iron ore reduction process thereby reducing CO2 emissions.[9] The DRI-EAF plants will be set up by 2026.[10]

ArcelorMittal announced its plan to set up a pilot electrolysis plant and a hydrogen filling station at the Eisenhuttenstadt plant to decarbonise its steel production with green hydrogen. The electrolysis plant is expected to be operational in 2024.[11]

Low-emissions/green steelmaking

This steel plant is associated with a green steel project tracked in the Green Steel Tracker. Details about the project are included below.
