Our tender for a
sustainable transformation

We are conducting a tender for the procurement of hydrogen for virtually climate-neutral steel production as part of our SALCOS® programme. The quantities of hydrogen we can use  will be up to 150,000 tonnes per year when production starts in 2027. It must be possible to assign the required hydrogen to one of the two categories:

Category A

Renewable hydrogen in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Renewable Energy Directive (Directive (EU) 2018/2001 (known as RED II); Delegated Regulation (EU) 2023/1184; Amendment to Renewable Energy Directive (EU) 2023/2413 , known as RED III)

Category B

Hydrogen that reduces life cycle greenhouse gas emissions by at least 70 % compared to the fossil comparative value of 94 g CO2e/MJ (see Delegated Regulation (EU) 2021/2139) ⓘ

How does the hydrogen get to our steelworks in Salzgitter?

The plan is to supply hydrogen via the future hydrogen core network (only available in German) or a comparable direct hydrogen pipeline. Further information on the current status and plans for the hydrogen core network can also be found here.

The place of fulfilment for the hydrogen supply is our steelworks in Salzgitter.

Registration deadline ended

The registration deadline for participation in the tender has expired. All registered participants were contacted by Salzgitter AG.
