SUMMARY:SALCOS® – the sustainable way of green steel production
DESCRIPTION:To reach the environmental goals 2045/2050, a fundamental reduction of CO2 emissions has to be achieved in all areas. The steel industry is one of the most energy intensive sectors, but also offers the highest and most energy efficient potential for CO2 migitation. 
Since 2015 together with Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft and in technical cooperation with Tenova S.p.A., Salzgitter AG has been developing its well-known SALCOS concept aiming at a stepwise and flexible decarbonisation of steel making by  carbon direct avoidance (CDA). Here, green hydrogen will replace carbon as reduction agent and energy carrier. This most promising approach of low-CO2 steel production is based on proven industrial-scale technology, which could be implemented immediately. 
Today`s BF/BOF process will be substituted by a direct iron ore reduction/electric arc furnace (DRP/EAF)-route. The DR process is predestined for a flexible switch and mixture of natural gas and green hydrogen. Right from the beginning the use of CH4 offers a significant reduction in CO2 emissions by more than 60 %. After a complete transition to 100% hydrogen from renewable energy a total decrease of CO2 emissions by more than 95% is possible.

The presentation will give an overview of the ongoing SALCOS-transformation at Salzgitter-Flachstahl GmbH and includes current demonstration and accompanying research activities.
