Progress on the way to green steel production in Donawitz

Progress on the way to green steel production in Donawitz

In Donawitz, an important project of the Voestalpine is currently being implemented: the construction of a new electric layer stove. In September 2023, the starting signal for the construction work was given, and only a year later it shows that progress progresses quickly. The oven will be completed by 2027 and is intended to support the goals of green steel production.

The electric layer stove is a more environmentally friendly technology for steel production, which, unlike conventional stoves, causes fewer CO2 emissions. This is particularly important because the steel industry is responsible for a significant part of global emissions. With this new oven, the Voestalpine wants to make production more sustainable and thus actively contribute to climate protection.

construction progress and schedule

The construction work is scheduled for schedule according to those responsible. One reports of a positive course and indicates that the schedule can yet be kept well. This not only facilitates the cooperation of all parties involved, but also increases the chances of rapid commissioning.

The Voestalpine has already proven in the past that it is able to implement innovative and sustainable solutions. The new electrical laying stove could make a decisive contribution to reaching the ambitious environmental goals. Taking into account the current challenges in industry, this project shows the way to a greener future.
