Salzgitter and Ørsted will work together as strategic partners in the future. In a memorandum of understanding (MOU), the companies have defined their joint approach: Salzgitter and Ørsted aim to establish closed value chains in their business relationships.
In addition to the supply of offshore wind power and the use of renewable hydrogen, the production of low-carbon steel and its use in the components for Ørsted's offshore wind farms are included. There are also plans to recycle scrap from decommissioned wind turbines into the steel production process. Salzgitter is a European steel and technology company and a pioneer in low-carbon steel production.
