\n \nIn a paper, Global Energy Solutions subjects the German strategy for future climate-neutral steel production to a reality check. The predominant process today is the so-called blast furnace route, using coke and coal. Steel produced in this way costs at least 390 euros per tonne. In order to produce climate-neutral steel, German policymakers are currently pursuing the approach of direct reduction through green hydrogen. In fact, this would largely avoid CO2<\/sub> emissions. However, green hydrogen (from domestic production) is foreseeably too expensive (6 to 8 ct\/ kWh), so that a tonne of steel would cost 100 to 150 euros more than today. The consequences would be an exodus of steel production from Germany and\/or permanent subsidies. In this paper, GES proposes a different path, namely steel production via direct reduction with green methane from North Africa. The price for a tonne of steel produced in Germany would then be around 440 euros. From GES\u2019 point of view, this is an attractive path to climate-neutral steel that also avoids the technical risk of driving with pure hydrogen, which has not yet been realised on a large scale. \n \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/div> \n<\/section><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
