Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann (HKM) steel plant, also known as HKM, Glocke Duisburg, is a steel plant in Duisburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany that operates blast furnace (BF), basic oxygen furnace (BOF), electric arc furnace (EAF), and direct reduced iron (DRI) technology.
Location
The map below shows the exact location of the plant in Duisburg, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany:
- Location: Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann GmbH Ehinger Strasse 200, 47259 Duisburg, Germany
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 51.371279, 6.72331 (exact)
Background
The Hüttenwerke Krupp Mannesmann (HKM) steel plant is also listed in a Sandbag report as "Glocke Duisburg" which means "Bell Duisburg".
Transition
HKM has announced plans to shift away from BF-BOF technology in favor of DRI-EAF. They will shut down one blast furnace in 2025 and the second by 2045, replacing these by hydrogen-based alternative reduction technology.[1]
