Salzgitter plans to switch its HKM plant in Duisburg from blast furnaces to electric steelmaking in 2029, reducing carbon emissions.
The electric arc furnace will be Germany’s largest, with capacity of up to 2,500,000 metric tons.
Construction implementation began in August 2026; completion is scheduled for 2029.
Germany’s federal government and North Rhine-Westphalia are providing EUR 200 million in funding.
The transition will involve substantial job cuts, with a workforce transition framework already agreed with employee representatives and IG Metall.
