This project, carried out within the framework of the large \u201cGreen Octopus of Central Germany\u201d program with the support of the European Union, will play a key role in replacing fossil fuels with clean hydrogen in the steel production process, and its ultimate goal is a&nbsp;<strong>95<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>percent<\/strong>&nbsp;reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared with traditional methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-d34f5baa\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"930\" height=\"612\" src=\"https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29368\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1.jpg 930w, https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1-400x263.jpg 400w, https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1-768x505.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1-430x283.jpg 430w, https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1-700x461.jpg 700w, https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/1-150x99.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 930px) 100vw, 930px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-8491cfdf\">The most important achievement of this plan is the gradual elimination of coal from the steel production cycle and its replacement with hydrogen, which significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions. According to the SALCOS transformation program, full implementation of this project will be equivalent to removing about&nbsp;<strong>8<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>million tons<\/strong>&nbsp;of carbon dioxide annually. In the first phase, using green hydrogen, carbon emissions will fall by up to&nbsp;<strong>30<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>percent<\/strong>&nbsp;compared with the 2018 base year. This transformation is steering Germany&#8217;s steel industry toward the production of \u201cgreen steel,\u201d which is not only beneficial for the environment but, given the growing global demand for low-carbon products, will also create a major competitive advantage for the country in international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-5ee12ce6\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"499\" src=\"https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/new\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29369\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2.png 750w, https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2-400x266.png 400w, https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2-430x286.png 430w, https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2-700x466.png 700w, https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/2-150x100.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-551501f1\">This project, which is due to be implemented starting next year, is a concrete example of turning environmental threats into industrial opportunities. With the implementation of this plan, while preserving employment in the steel industry, greater added value will accrue to the industry through the production of advanced and environmentally friendly products, and it will draw a clear path for other industrial countries toward achieving climate goals. The global steel industry is responsible for about&nbsp;<strong>7<\/strong><strong> <\/strong><strong>percent<\/strong>&nbsp;of total carbon dioxide emissions, and initiatives of this kind can have a significant impact on reducing industrial pollutants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-wd-paragraph wd-ecae6124\">Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horizoneducational.com\/germany-commissions-fgl-702-hydrogen-pipeline-to-decarbonize-steel\/t1751?filter%5Border%5D=%27nvOpzp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.horizoneducational.com\/germany-commissions-fgl-702-hydrogen-pipeline-to-decarbonize-steel\/t1751?filter%5Border%5D=%27nvOpzp<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":29369,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[88],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29367","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=29367"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29367\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":30292,"href":"https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29367\/revisions\/30292"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/29369"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=29367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=29367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dkki-co.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=29367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
