At voestalpine, we are building bridges and tunnels as part of greentec steel, our program for the conversion to carbon-neutral steel production. The new 800 meter-long conveyor belt bridge that will also supply the electric arc furnace with raw materials from 2027 onwards was recently completed.

We are joining the trend to decarbonize steel production by going the electric arc furnace route. The basis for green steel is the pioneering technological transition from the blast furnace route to the use of electric arc furnaces powered by green electricity. Here we explain what will stay the same, and what will change.

The entire project team is already caught up in the excitement of greentec steel, and not just in Linz. As part of Austria’s largest climate protection program and voestalpine’s most extensive investment project to date, a fresh, green steel wind is now also blowing at the site in Donawitz. It is a megaproject, one that […]
