About

Zerosteel is a private headquartered in Germany specializing in Hydrogen, Biomass, Other.

Zerosteel is a groundbreaking research initiative dedicated to decarbonizing steel production, one of the largest industrial sources of global CO2 emissions. The project integrates innovative technologies including hydrogen-based reduction methods (fluidized bed reactors, rotary kilns, microwave-assisted reduction, hydrogen plasma smelting), chemical looping pre-heating using waste biomass, biochar integration in electric arc furnaces, and AI-powered digital twin systems for real-time monitoring and predictive maintenance. Operating under the Horizon Europe framework with a consortium of leading industry partners, technology developers, raw material providers, and research institutions (IJL/CNRS, TUBAF, TUWIEN, KUL), Zerosteel aims to achieve up to 90% CO2 emission reductions compared to traditional steelmaking while improving efficiency by 50% and reducing production costs by 15%.
