Water management and water protection are facing major challenges: Climate change brings with it more frequent, stronger or longer-lasting extreme weather events that affect the availability and quality of our water resources.
DRI Rising: The Slow Revolution in the Steel Industry
22.10.2024
It was a shock for the industry: In early October, Handelsblatt reported that ThyssenKrupp's green steel project in Duisburg might be facing cancellation. One reason is the enormous costs of the direct reduction plant. Not only does the construction cost billions, but also the planned operation with green hydrogen (H2) from 2026 onwards.
Underground Storage of Hydrogen
23.09.2024
The storage of hydrogen is crucial for the energy transition. It allows for balancing between production and consumption. Hydrogen storage is therefore essential for the stability of an energy system and significantly contributes to security of supply. Hydrogen can be stored both underground and above ground.
Decarbonisation and value creation: the course is set for CO2 transport
23.09.2024
Since 2005, the central EU climate protection instrument has been European emissions trading, which aims to reduce CO₂ emissions from the energy sector and energy-intensive industrial processes.
International steel: China's path to decarbonisation
09.09.2024
Over the past two decades, the Chinese steel industry has significantly increased its production and has become the largest crude steel producer in the world. In 2023, China produced over 1 billion tonnes of crude steel, which corresponds to 53.9% of total global production.
Sustainable local and district heating networks in Germany: background and development

District and local heating networks play a central role in the heating transition in Germany and the associated switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.
The green potential of the MENA region: A new chapter for the global steel industry
19.08.2024
The MENA region (Middle East and North Africa) is on the cusp of a significant transformation of the steel industry. Due to its extensive natural resources, the region could not only meet its own demand for conventional steel through strategic positioning, but also become a leading global supplier of green steel.
Green hydrogen today: These five electrolysis plants are already in operation
29.07.2024
In the hydrogen industry, much revolves around announcements, agreements, planning, and approvals. Occasionally, ground is broken for a new plant, but electrolyzers actually producing green hydrogen in Germany are still a rarity. However, some plants are already in operation today.
