The new production route will include an electric arc furnace (EAF) at the Völklingen plant and an EAF and direct reduced iron (DRI) plant for the production of sponge iron at the Dillinger plant, in addition to the established blast furnace route. The capacity of the plants will be about 3.5 million tons of crude steel, obtained from direct reduced iron and scrap. Green hydrogen will already be used to some extent by the time the new route is commissioned in 2027.
