Second excursion to the thyssenkrupp plant in Duisburg

02/20/2025

On February 18, 2025, another excursion to the thyssenkrupp steelworks in Duisburg took place due to high demand. Participants included students from the “Bulk Metal” Forming course of the international “Master of Manufacturing Technology” program and employees of the Institute of Forming Technology and Lightweight Construction (IUL). Duisburg is the largest steelmaking site in Europe, producing premium flat steel around the clock. Entitled “Steel in Transition”, the factory tour offered participants a deep insight into the complex processes of steel production. From the preparation of resources such as ore and coal to smelting in the blast furnace and further processing in the steel mill, the students were able to experience first-hand how pig iron is turned into steel. Particular attention was paid to the innovative approaches to reducing CO2 emissions. As part of the Carbon2Chem research project, smelting gases containing CO2 are already being converted into valuable raw materials. Hydrogen can be used as a climate-neutral alternative to coal in the sustainable production of steel to extract the oxygen needed from iron ore. A 100% hydrogen-capable direct reduction plant is currently being built at thyssenkrupp in Duisburg. With an annual production capacity of 2.5 million tons of directly reduced iron, up to 3.5 million tons of CO2 can be saved. This makes thyssenkrupp Steel a pioneer in the decarbonization of the entire steel value chain. The excursion impressively demonstrated how the steel industry is changing and developing innovative solutions to meet ecological challenges.
