Salzgitter Group and VNG expand cooperation in the supply of hydrogen
In Germany, Salzgitter AG said it joined forces with VNG AG to investigate the options for supplying hydrogen and the resulting carbon footprint for producing steel in Salzgitter Flachstahl’s steelworks in Salzgitter, Lower Saxony. The aim of the cooperation is to complete a study on supplying hydrogen to the Salzgitter production site. The analysis will include electrolyzer options and a supply of non-pipeline hydrogen derivatives such as ammoniac or methanol that can be used as sources of energy for partial supply during a transition phase. “Developing the hydrogen economy is an essential precondition for reducing carbon emissions in industry. We are therefore delighted to be continuing our trust-based collaboration with Salzgitter in the context of this joint analysis with a view to mapping the path toward a climate-compatible supply of hydrogen to the steelworks at the Salzgitter location,” said Hans-Joachim Polk, VNG’s Executive Board member for Infrastructure & Technical Affairs.
