  • Summary

  • 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 6: The path to green steel: How Waelzholz will reduce CO2 emissions in the future
    Dec 3 2024
    As a technology leader, Waelzholz is one of the pioneers in the industry on its path to transformation. This is the result of a consistent sustainability strategy that begins with traditional aspects such as energy efficiency and the use of renewable energy sources and extends to an innovative accounting model that enables the transparent and certified supply of CO2-reduced steel strip. In this sixth podcast episode, you can find out what measures Waelzholz has implemented in this area and how they are linked to the company's sustainability reporting. Host: Ute Neuhaus Guests: Dr Heino Buddenberg (Chairman of the Management Board of the Waelzholz Group) Baroudi Zelit (Managing Director of the Brazilian Waelzholz subsidiary Waelzholz-Brasmetal Laminação Ltda.)

    Episode 5: Do the political framework conditions support the path to a green steel industry in Germany and Europe?
    Dec 3 2024
    The competitiveness of the German and European steel industry is at risk. The reasons for this are complex and range from high electricity and energy costs to growing competition from Asia and a sharp rise in labour and salary costs. The transformation towards climate neutrality is also very costly - but at the same time absolutely necessary. In our fifth podcast episode, we therefore get to the bottom of the question of whether political framework conditions help to strengthen the competitiveness of European steel companies during their transformation. Are the political measures and regulations taken, such as CBAM, achieving their desired goals? Or is the EU marginalising its own steel industry as a result? Host: Ute Neuhaus Guests: Frank Peter (Director of Agora Industrie, a think tank that deals with questions of transformation in industry) Dr Matthias Gierse (Waelzholz consultant and former Managing Director Sales and Purchasing of the Waelzholz Group)

  • Episode 4: Can we get to zero carbon with scrap? Why the use of EAF steel won’t reduce global carbon emissions

    Episode 4: Can we get to zero carbon with scrap? Why the use of EAF steel won’t reduce global carbon emissions
    Nov 13 2024
    When steel products have reached the end of their useful life, the material’s life is far from over – because steel can be recycled an unlimited number of times. In terms of the climate, the advantage is that the production of crude steel using scrap instead of iron ore significantly reduces carbon emissions. What initially sounds like a great solution for reducing emissions in the steel industry, however, quickly reaches its limits in terms of actual feasibility. In this episode of our sustainability podcast, you’ll learn about the possibilities that scrap offers and the limitations that restrict them. Host: Ute Neuhaus Guests: Sandrina Sieverdingbeck (general manager of DEUMU Deutsche Erz- und Metall-Union GmbH) Dr. Matthias Gierse (Waelzholz consultant and former Director Sales and Purchasing of the Waelzholz Group)
