Germany is aiming to become as greenhouse gas neutral as possible by 2045. This also applies to the steel industry. There are plenty of good ideas out there on the road to this goal, but also plenty of challenges. The important thing is that decarbonization will only succeed as quickly as possible if all the companies in the value chain work together to achieve it. In our new podcast Steel to Zero, we present the interrelationships between the different stages of the value chain in relation to decarbonization and highlight potential courses of action. To this end, we let proven experts have their say.
We hope you enjoy listening and gain new insights from our podcast Steel to Zero: How steel will go green.

Episode 3: You can't do without: What role steel plays in a sustainable economy
How much CO2 emissions do everyday products such as laundry machines and ovens produce during manufacture and operation? What matters here is low power consumption, but also the best possible carbon footprint of the materials used, such as steel. In this podcast episode, we talk about the importance of modern steel materials from Waelzholz for Miele as a leading manufacturer of household appliances in connection with CO2 reduction.

Episode 2: Reducing the footprint: from light-footed steel to climate neutrality
thyssenkrupp Steel is Germany's biggest steel producer, producing around 11 million metric tons of crude steel a year, and due to its energy-intensive manufacturing processes it has a significant impact on the product carbon footprint. In this podcast episode we highlight, among other things, the processes with which thyssenkrupp can already save CO2 emissions today, how crude steel production is to become climate-neutral by 2045, and how Waelzholz is supporting this transformation process with a view to the entire value chain.

Episode 1: The challenge: the steel industry’s complex value chain
In order to significantly reduce carbon emissions from steel, we need to look at every level of the value chain. In this first episode of our podcast, you’ll learn how Waelzholz, as a technology leader in the cold rolling industry and an integral part of this value chain, is heading down the path to carbon neutrality and what role the system we’ve developed to precisely track and allocate the carbon emissions of each material version plays in this process.
