In Austria, Andritz said it will build a 100 MW electrolysis plant at the Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH site on an EPC basis, incorporating pressurized alkaline electrolyzer technology from HydrogenPro.
Starting in 2026, the plant will produce around 9,000 tons of green hydrogen per year, which will be used to produce green steel, the firm said.
Ulrich Grethe, Chairman of the Salzgitter Flachstahl GmbH Management Board, said: “The commissioning of the electrolysis plant marks a significant step in the SALCOS program and underlines our leading position in the transformation of the industry. In order to enable us to reduce the CO2 footprint of our steel production in the future, it is imperative that we connect to the emerging hydrogen infrastructure as quickly as possible.”
This contract completes the orders for all plants and systems for the first stage of Salzgitter’s SALCOS sustainable transformation program.
