Primetals Technologies supplies major decarbonization project
German steel producer Dillinger and its subsidiary ROGESA have signed contracts with Primetals Technologies for the supply of a new production complex, which includes a DRI plant, contracted along with Midrex Technologies, and an EAF Ultimate electric arc furnace plant including two twin ladle furnaces. These solutions from Primetals Technologies will support Dillinger and ROGESA to meet their goal of reducing CO2 emissions by 4.8 million tons per year within six years.
Dillinger and ROGESA, as part of the SHS Group (SHS – Stahl-Holding-Saar), have launched an ambitious green steel transformation project to replace the current blast furnace-based production route in Dillingen, Germany. Having a single supplier for the complete range of ironmaking and steelmaking facilities comes with several benefits for Dillinger and ROGESA, particularly in terms of implementation and tailored design features to accommodate for plant installations alongside existing equipment. Dillinger and ROGESA chose Primetals Technologies based on its leading technological solutions and strong references for both DRI plants and EAF technology.
“This partnership with Primetals Technologies represents an important building block on the way to climate friendly steel production here in Germany, “ said Dr. Peter Maagh, Chief Technical Officer at Dillinger. “We are convinced that we can successfully launch our Power4Steel decarbonization project on schedule with such an experienced and reliable partner.“
Leading Supplier of Decarbonization Technologies
Primetals Technologies and its consortium partner DSD Montagetechnik, part of the German DSD Steel Group, will provide advisory services for the construction and implementation of the DRI plant and EAF equipment.
Dillinger and ROGESA’s new production complex is Primetals Technologies’ latest major decarbonization project. Recently, Oslo-based Blastr selected the company as its technology partner for new green steel production facilities in Finland. This, along with projects for voestalpine in Austria, Salzgitter in Germany, and Marcegaglia in the UK for comprehensive EAF projects, solidifies Primetals Technologies’ role as leading supplier of decarbonization solutions.
Carbon Neutrality by 2045
SHS Group, consisting of several leading companies in the steel market, aims to achieve carbon neutrality by 2045 through its ambitious Power4Steel program. Steel products from SHS Group companies are used in demanding applications, such as the headquarters of French daily newspaper Le Monde and London’s tallest building, Twentytwo, as well as in the safe tracks of European high-speed trains and in the majority of cars manufactured in Europe.
SHS Group has obtained funding for its green transition from the German state and the state of Saarland. The fundings are approved by the European Union.
