In the UK, Steel Times International reported that German steel producer Stahl-Holding-Saar (SHS) has launched a tender to buy up to 50kt of locally produced renewable hydrogen for its Dillinger and Saarstahl plants in Saarland. SHS and its subsidiaries are due to produce up to 3.5Mt/yr of green steel between 2027/28, according to the report. The closed tender process is part of SHS’s Power4Steel decarbonization project. As part of the project, the steelmaker will attempt to lower up to 70% of carbon emissions associated with steel production. The report noted that the tender aims to identify green hydrogen suppliers along the cross-border MosaHYc hydrogen network in the Grande Region, to supply SHS’s direct reduction iron plant from 2027. The tender is due to be completed by the end of 2024.
