GMH Gruppe supplies Hammerwerk Erft with CO2- reduced steel
The first delivery of 120 tonnes of green power premium steel to the company marks the beginning of a closer partnership between the traditional forging specialist and Georgsmarienhütte GmbH, a GMH Group company. The steel, manufactured using 100 per cent renewable energy from biogenic coal, offers a reduction in CO2 emissions of up to 98 per cent and is therefore currently one of the lowest-emission steel available in Germany.
“ As a family-owned company, with a long tradition in the forging industry, we know how crucial sustainable solutions are for the future— especially in an industry like ours. With the first ingot melt from green power premium steel, we are taking an important step towards climatefriendly production, together with Georgsmarienhütte. We are pleased to be taking this path with a strong partner at our side,” explained Marc Schmitz, managing director of Hammerwerk Erft.
“ With our high-quality product green power premium, we can actively support the decarbonization of our customers’ applications. We are delighted to be able to support our longstanding business partner Hammerwerk Erft in this endeavour with the first batch of green power premium steel for their products,” added Frank Agel, managing director of Georgsmarienhütte GmbH.
