【SMM Steel】Salzgitter Flachstahl and EWE have signed a long-term green hydrogen supply agreement. Starting in 2030, EWE will deliver about 10000 tonnes of green hydrogen annually for seven years via the hydrogen core network. The hydrogen will be produced at EWE's 320 MW Emden electrolysis facility targeting start-up in 2027. The volume will cover around 6.5% of future annual hydrogen demand for Salzgitter's SALCOS® low-carbon steelmaking program. Salzgitter also plans to produce an additional 9000 tonnes per year with an on-site 100 MW electrolysis plant. Through SALCOS® Salzgitter is targeting a 95% CO₂ reduction by 2033. Executives warned that the sector still faces regulatory hurdles and high production costs calling for more flexible policy support.
