Sustainability & Climate Protection

In a personal interview Dr Christoph Noeres, Head of Green Hydrogen, answers all questions around the subject of the production and use of hydrogen at thyssenkrupp

We at thyssenkrupp are already making every effort to ensure sustainable production in the future regarding the energy transition.

Huge components - built to withstand extreme forces: Learn more about the design of slewing bearings and the forces they are subjected to in wind turbines.

The Ruhr region has the best prerequisites for becoming the new Hydrogen Valley. With its density of production sites and advantageous infrastructure, it can become the main hub of Germany's hydrogen economy.

How can waste in production be reduced or – even better – prevented? Read on to find out more about the tools Cornelia Spanka uses in her work and why she thinks thyssenkrupp is underrated.

Ammonia the hidden star for generating CO2-free energy...

To turn a version of a modern water electrolysis plant for the production of hydrogen on an industrial scale into reality, thyssenkrupp is working with the Canadian company Hydro-Québec. Together they want to produce the energy carrier of tomorrow in a sustainable way.

Hydrogen instead of carbon. Just over a year has passed since the world premiere of the use of hydrogen in ongoing blast furnace operations. What has happened in this first phase of the trials? We provide an overview.

Climate polluter cement? How we make cement plants ready for the Green Deal - with the polysius® product family from thyssenkrupp Industrial Solutions.

With the ongoing climate crisis, alternative energy sources and fuels are becoming more and more important. Among them is green methanol. This is how it turned around from a CO2-heavy pollutant to a green solution with the potential for an environmentally friendly future.

Fuels from biomass or based on hydrogen offer solutions to the mobility dilemma.

We are already working on promising technologies to make steel production sustainable.

Tinplate cans are one of the most environmentally friendly packaging materials of all.

With our innovative technology Carbon2Chem we convert climate-damaging CO2 into valuable raw materials.

With oXeanpedia we make a small contribution to minimize the impact of fishing on the ecology of the oceans.

In Germany, a whopping 55 kilograms of food per person end up in the garbage can instead of on the table every year.

Before we can look back on a successful energy turnaround, there are still some challenges to be mastered.

The national hydrogen strategy is to establish hydrogen as an energy carrier. Here are the most important facts.

thyssenkrupp aims to be climate neutral by 2050. To achieve this we are gradually converting our steel production to direct reduction with climate-neutral hydrogen. For the transformation to succeed, large quantities of the light H2 molecule are needed. Together with the energy company STEAG we are taking the first step toward a local hydrogen economy in the Ruhr region.

The Green Deal is intended to make Europe climate-neutral and fit for a sustainable future by the middle of the century. We put ourselves to the test and looked at which components of the Green Deal thyssenkrupp is already fulfilling.

The light H2 molecule could become the key to a successful energy transition. If it is "green".
