Blastr, a Norwegian industrial company, and Knauf Interfer, a German steel distribution firm, have teamed up to produce hydrogen-based steel for Central Europe.
Steel manufacturing is one of the most carbon-intensive industries globally. By introducing hydrogen into the process, Blastr and Knauf Interfer aim to significantly reduce these emissions. Hydrogen can replace fossil fuels traditionally used in steel making, creating a greener, more sustainable product.
The collaboration is expected to benefit the Central European market by offering steel with a lower carbon footprint. This aligns with broader European Union goals to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. As demand for sustainable materials grows, hydrogen-based steel could become a key component in future infrastructures.
With plans to expand their operations, Blastr and Knauf Interfer hope to set a precedent for other companies in the industry. By investing in clean technology, they aim to show that it is possible to balance industrial production with environmental responsibility.
