Vinci has announced that its subsidiary Cobra IS has been chosen by SMS Group GmbH to carry out work on part of steelmaker Thyssenkrupp Steel Europe's industrial complex in Duisburg, Germany, a contract worth 74 million euros.

With an annual production capacity of 2.5 million tonnes of pre-reduced iron ore, this is the first site in Germany designed to run exclusively on green hydrogen", stresses the construction and concessions group.

This project marks a major step in the transition from a very high-carbon footprint industry to ecologically responsible technologies. It will avoid up to 3.5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions every year.
