Smart scrap sorting for green steel
Due to the switch to green steel production, significantly more scrap will be required in the future, so the sufficient availability of scrap will play an important role. For this reason, we are already conducting research in various projects into how high-quality steel grades can be produced from old scrap in the future.

Steel cycle: How scrap is turned into green steel
The conversion to “green” steel production means that significantly more scrap will be needed in the future. However, this increasing demand cannot be fully covered by new scrap (pre-consumer scrap). In future, it will therefore be necessary to make greater use of old scrap (post-consumer scrap), which has to be processed and sorted at great […]

greentec steel: building progress above and below ground
At voestalpine, we are building bridges and tunnels as part of greentec steel, our program for the conversion to steel production with net zero CO2-emissions. 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.
