The conversion to “green” steel production means that significantly more scrap will be needed in the future. However, this increasing demand cannot be fully covered by new scrap (pre-consumer scrap). In future, it will therefore be necessary to make greater use of old scrap (post-consumer scrap), which has to be processed and sorted at great […]

At voestalpine, we are building bridges and tunnels as part of greentec steel, our program for the conversion to steel production with net zero CO2-emissions. The new 800 meter-long conveyor belt bridge that will also supply the electric arc furnace with raw materials from 2027 onwards was recently completed.

We are joining the trend to decarbonize steel production by going the electric arc furnace route. The basis for green steel is the pioneering technological transition from the blast furnace route to the use of electric arc furnaces powered by green electricity. Here we explain what will stay the same, and what will change.
