German steel giant Salzgitter has launched a new project to reach near ‘carbon-free’ production with the help of wind energy and green hydrogen. In partnership with the industrial gases firm Linde and E.ON subsidiary Avacon, the company has commissioned a green hydrogen plant powered by wind energy.

Hydrogen will replace the carbon necessary for smelting iron ore.

Avacon operates seven newly built wind turbines with an output totalling 30MW on the site while the steel company has installed 2 Siemens 1.25MW electrolysers, which will generate around 450 cubic metres of hydrogen per hour.
