German Federal Environment Minister Ms Svenja Schulze visited thyssenkrupp Steel’s steel mill in Duisburg during her summer tour to learn on site about the plans of Germany‘s largest steel producer to make its production operations completely climate-neutral, and invited the company to submit a funding request for a direct reduction plant within the scope of the BMU’s Funding Program Decarbonization. An initial project outline had previously met with a positive response from the German Federal Environment Agency and the Kompetenzzentrum Klimaschutz in energieintensiven Industrien.
