- Thyssenkrupp Steel moved the planned Duisburg green-steel start into 2029 after engineering and construction delays.
- Revised funding terms support continued construction and a new hydrogen tender.
- Hydrogen availability, prices and project execution remain key variables for Steel Europe.
Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe pushed the planned start of its Duisburg direct-reduction plant to 2029 on Wednesday, November 11, from the previous 2027 target. The move puts project execution and hydrogen availability at the center of the investment case.
The Shanghai Metals Market reported that the delay followed engineering challenges and construction hold-ups. The project is designed to produce lower-carbon steel and carries an estimated total cost of about 3 billion euros, with state support of up to 2 billion euros.
Funding keeps construction moving
Revised funding conditions provide more flexibility during the hydrogen transition, while thyssenkrupp Steel prepares a new hydrogen tender. The company has said the updated framework creates planning certainty, but the economics of the ramp-up will still depend on hydrogen supply, pricing and the pace of the transition away from coal-based steelmaking.
