Thyssenkrupp's $3.3 billion green steel project in Duisburg may not be viable without adequate green hydrogen, warns CEO Miguel Lopez.
FRANKFURT (Reuters) - A planned 3-billion-euro ($3.3 billion) site Thyssenkrupp is building in Duisburg to make carbon-neutral steel could be stranded unless Germany ensures there's sufficient green hydrogen to supply it, the conglomerate's CEO said.
"With this project we are not only pushing the boundaries of what is technologically feasible. We are also currently operating at the limits of economic viability. Or, as things stand today: beyond it," Miguel Lopez said.
