Germany-based steelmaker Salzgitter Group has announced that it has entered into a partnership with German steel producer and distributor Klöckner & Co for the supply of carbon-reduced steel produced under the SALCOS® - Salzgitter Low CO₂ Steelmaking program from the end of 2025 to Becker Stahl-Service GmbH, a subsidiary of Klöckner & Co.
The carbon-reduced steel from Salzgitter will be available under the “Nexigen®” umbrella brand under which Klöckner & Co is offering its carbon-reduced steel and metal solutions. The companies aim to significantly raise the volume of green steel available in the markets.
Salzgitter intends to reduce its carbon emissions overall by 95 percent by 2033 with the SALCOS route.
