ArcelorMittal is experimenting with the use of industrial-scale hydrogen for its steel production in Germany in a €65m ($73m) project as part of its strategy to cut CO2 emissions. The company has been working on developing an industrial process that uses hydrogen, which can be produced from renewable sources such as solar and wind power. Grey hydrogen, from ArcelorMittal’s own gas separation processes, will be used in the test but the company said hydrogen made from renewable sources could be used in the future. The company has already spent €250m on CO2 reduction technologies.
