At SMS group, we have made it our mission to create a carbon-neutral and sustainable metals industry. Our unique setup as an expert for all major metals, as a supplier of the complete process chain including all upstream and downstream processes, as weil as recycling, and as a provider of services from automation to digitalization and consulting allows us to offer all products and services required to forge a greener metals industry.
Our major fields of action are:
- Green steel: The decarbonization of steel production is the major lever to reduce C02 emissions. We offer the solutions to decarbonize iron and steel production, from a stepwise reduction to carbon neutrality. SMS group will supply the plant technology for the first real green steel plant in the world. H2 Green Steel will be the first industrial-scale steel plant based on hydrogen and electricity from renewable sources
- Green hydrogen: Green hydrogen will play a pivotal role on the path towards a climate friendly metals industry. lt will not only be a key tool in the path towards C02 reductions in iron and steel making processes, but renewable hydrogen will also be required for other non-electrifiable sectors, such as aviation. SMS group is taking an active role in shaping the supply and use of hydrogen, as weil as developing and offering hydrogen-based solutions for industrial applications.
- Circular economy: Recycling of metals is a cornerstone for a circular economy as it significantly lowers the C02 footprint, saves scarce resources, lowers the dependency on certain natural elements and finally brings back high-purity raw materials back into the circle. That's why we work on pushing recycling rates of metals to the technological limits and extending the range of materials which can be recycled.
For this reason, SMS group will focus on the topic of "Green metals" at Metec. The central exhibit for the topic will be a multimedia installation presenting the SMS group's competences and technologies in the fields of decarbonization, hydrogen and circular economy.Find more information on our website:
