Germany: Salzgitter Green Steel Transformation Project (Salzgitter AG - SALCOS Project)

Products：Seamless Carbon Steel Pipe, Carbon Steel Coil and Sheet

Quantity: 5620 tons

Project location: Lower Saxony, Germany (Salzgitter)

Date: 2023.06

I. Project Background: A Green Revolution in the European Steel Industry

Project Name: Salzgitter Green Steel Transformation Project (SALCOS®)

Core Objective: To replace traditional coke reduction with hydrogen reduction, and ultimately achieve near-zero CO2 emissions in the steel production process, in conjunction with electric arc furnace (EAF) technology.

Engineering Challenges: The SALCOS project involves the construction of extensive hydrogen delivery systems, hydrolysis units, and new EAF bases. This requires the supplied materials to possess extremely high pressure resistance, mechanical stability, and adaptability to the environment of new energy sources (such as hydrogen) delivery.

II. Shandong Runhai Steel's Supply List

In this collaboration, Shandong Runhai Steel's products are primarily used in the first phase of the SALCOS project: seamless carbon steel pipes and high-strength carbon steel coils.

III. Technological Depth and Advantages of Cooperation

1. Future-Oriented: High-standard seamless pipe technology; 2. Precision Welding: Facilitating the assembly of large components; 3. Alignment with the Green Value Chain

IV. Significance and International Impact of the Cooperation

1. Entering the High-End European Market: Successfully serving the German steel giant Salzgitter AG signifies that Shandong Runhai Steel's products have met the EU's most stringent industrial access standards.

2. Supporting Global Climate Goals: By providing basic materials for the hydrogen-powered steelmaking project, Shandong Runhai Steel is taking concrete action to support the decarbonization process of global heavy industry.

3. A New Height for Brand Globalization: This case fully demonstrates that "Made in China" can not only provide raw materials but also deeply participate in cutting-edge global technological innovation and low-carbon transformation.

From "Made in China" to "German Quality," the cooperation between Shandong Runhai Steel and Salzgitter AG is not merely a trade transaction, but a shared commitment to building a green industrial dream. In the process of the SALCOS project ushering in a new era for steel, every steel pipe and every coil from Shandong Runhai is contributing to a zero-carbon future.
