German Stahl-Holding-Saar (SHS) said that it had initiated a tender to purchase up to 50,000 tons of green hydrogen for its green steel projects. Hydrogen plays an important role in the Saarland-based holding company's Power4Steel decarbonization project.

From 2027/28, SHS and its affiliates aimed to produce 3.5 million tons of green steel annually and advance towards a 70% conversion to eco-friendly operations.

As part of the project, SHS is constructing a direct reduced iron (DRI) plant at its facility in Dilligen. The company also plans to install electric arc furnaces (EAF) in both Dilligen and Völklingen, where green hydrogen will play a pivotal role in the steel production process.
