Background

The ThyssenKrupp Steel Duisburg steel plant consists of two plants operating as one location in Duisburg.[1]

Thyssenkrupp is going to build a direct reduced iron plant with an integrated melting unit run on hydrogen and green power at its Duisburg works to produce green steel.[2]

The plant is expected to be completed by 2025 and have a capacity of 1.2 million mt a year. If hydrogen is not available in sufficient quantities by then, the plant will be operated using natural gas.[2]

The solid material produced in the direct reduction plant will be liquefied in an integrated melting unit, and the "blast furnace 2.0" will produce "electrical hot metal," processed in the existing metallurgical plant.[2]

Thyssenkrupp has set itself the target to reduce its CO2 emissions by 30% by 2030 and plans to complete the main part of the plant by 2025 and produce 400,000 mt of green steel. For 2030, the company's target is 3 million mt of green steel.[2]

Thyssenkrupp is Germany's largest steelmaker, and the company's Duisburg steel production site alone accounts currently for 2% of Germany's CO2 emissions.[2]

"The potential for reducing CO2 is also of this magnitude if these emissions can be reduced to zero in the long term," said Thyssenkrupp in a press note.[2]

In the short term, tests are being run using hydrogen in conventional blast furnace operations before the DRI plant is finished.[2]

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.
