Thyssenkrupp Steel has announced an investment of €2.4 million into a new testing facility at its Duisburg site to evaluate the "iron ore of the future." This initiative focuses on the chemical and physical characterization of high-purity ores and pellets required for hydrogen-based direct reduction (DR) plants. As the industry moves away from traditional coal-based blast furnaces, ensuring a stable and efficient supply of DR-grade feedstock is critical for the success of Thyssenkrupp's decarbonization strategy, which targets its first climate-neutral steel production by the end of 2026.
