Overview of voestalpine's new power plant unit

Full Steam Ahead for greentec steel

The transformation of steel production cannot be achieved through a single large-scale project, but rather through numerous interlinked measures. With the commissioning of a new power plant unit, we are creating another prerequisite for green steel production. This will allow us to use large quantities of steam from the electric arc furnace for electricity generation […]
