After around two years of construction and assembly work, thyssenkrupp Steel Europe has implemented major strategic investments at the Duisburg location.
Boston Metal announced it has raised $51 million in a convertible note investment from existing investors including BHP Ventures, Breakthrough Energy Ventures, Piva Capital and SiteGround.
Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH has awarded Tenova a significant contract for the supply of a state-of-the-art walking beam furnace for slabs at the Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH site.
With the four central electrolyzer buildings nearing completion, installation of the process equipment that will produce green hydrogen, the lifeblood of Stegra’s green iron and steel plants, is moving forward at pace.
Outokumpu and Alstom have entered a partnership for the supply of Outokumpu Circle Green®, stainless steel with up to 93% lower carbon footprint compared to the global industry average*.
Alleima’s Kanthal division and Danieli will supply a pilot-scale electric process gas heater to be installed at Emsteel’s direct reduced iron (DRI) plant in Abu Dhabi, UAE, to electrify a part of their existing heating system.
SSAB has signed an agreement to purchase high-quality automotive steel scrap from Volvo Cars’ Olofström production plant in Sweden to be recycled and used at SSAB’s mill in Oxelösund to produce decarbonized steel.
2026 will mark the start of a new era of carbon pricing in the steel industry. Free emission allowances for European steel mills will be phased out. At the same time, CBAM introduces an equivalent carbon price for imported steel. Together, these two instruments narrow cost gaps, but they may not be sufficient for the transition to green steel.
The steel industry is on the brink of a transformative shift towards greener, more sustainable practices. One promising advancement in this journey is the introduction of a new laser ultrasonic (LUS) based grain size gauge. This cutting-edge technology offers unprecedented insights into the microstructure of steel, paving the way for more efficient and environmentally friendly production methods.
AI tools are becoming valuable partners in the steel industry, taking on repetitive, time-consuming tasks and helping to structure and analyze the growing volume of sustainability data. With AI support, sustainability teams can respond faster, track trends, spot gaps while building trust with stakeholders and focusing their efforts on meaningful, high-impact work.
Steel production plays a pivotal role in India’s economy. In 2023 alone, India produced over 140 million tons of crude steel [1], contributing significantly to both domestic infrastructure and exports, and positioning itself as the world’s second-largest steel producer. The sector drives substantial global revenue, with steel exports exceeding 7.5 million tons [2], also in 2023, contributing about 2% to India’s GDP, and enhancing its global competitiveness. At the heart of this industry is the city of Jamshedpur, known as the “Steel City,” which was established by the founder of Tata Steel over a century ago and continues to serve as a major hub for the nation’s steel production.

The Green Steel World and Hydrogen Tech World Conferences, held in parallel on May 13 and 14, 2025, at the Van der Valk Airporthotel in Düsseldorf, Germany, proved to be exceptional events focusing on the decarbonization of the steel industry and the integration of hydrogen technologies.
Graphite is an essential yet often overlooked material in Europe’s green transition, crucial for sustainable steelmaking, batteries, nuclear power, and electrification. However, Europe’s graphite supply is largely imported from China, creating geopolitical risks. Current graphite production methods also present major sustainability challenges, with significant climate impacts due to heavy reliance on fossil-based materials and energy-intensive processes. As demand continues to grow sharply, Europe urgently needs a secure and sustainable graphite source to achieve its climate and industrial goals.
Founded in 1999, PKU Pioneer (Beijing Peking University Pioneer Technology Corporation Ltd.) has established itself as a leader in the research and development of cutting-edge gas separation technologies, including VPSA (vacuum pressure swing adsorption) and PSA (pressure swing adsorption). The company also specializes in energy-saving and environmental protection solutions, alongside the design, manufacturing, and engineering of comprehensive equipment systems. To gain deeper insights into their contributions to advancing industrial technologies, the Green Steel World team had the opportunity to speak with Mr. Tang Wei, CEO of PKU Pioneer.
