Groundbreaking Innovation: Thyssenkrupp Steel Embarks on Hydrogen-Fueled Blast Furnace Trials
A Revolutionary Approach to Steel Production
Pioneering the Future of Industry
In a pivotal moment for the steel industry, thyssenkrupp Steel has embarked on groundbreaking trials utilizing hydrogen in its blast furnace operations. This revolutionary approach marks a significant milestone in the quest for sustainable and efficient steel production.
On November 11, 2019, thyssenkrupp Steel became the first company to initiate this groundbreaking experiment in Blast Furnace 9 at its Duisburg facility. Hydrogen is poised to assume a critical role in the future of blast furnace operations, replacing the use of coke.
The Duisburg-based steel producer has successfully completed the initial phase of hydrogen testing on Blast Furnace 9, marking a promising start to this ambitious project. This successful first phase paves the way for further extensive testing and optimization.
