In this episode we talk with Thiago Campos – co-head of Green Steel at SMS group.
Conventional metallurgical processes and steel making in particular are known for their huge environmental impact and carbon emissions, it has always been an axiom.
But can you imagine that nowadays green metals production has become a reality?
In this episode we discuss:

How the conventional metallurgical process looks like
What are the differences between iron and steel (there is just one tiny difference, did you know that?) and that the conventional production process takes place in a furnace higher than a country house
What is the meaning behind the color-labels for hydrogen and related technologies: Grey vs. Blue vs. Green Hydrogen
How the “Green steel” technology was developed in Luxembourg


And the biggest challenges for the industry and possible ways to address them

All these and more – in this episode.
