Sustainability & Climate Protection

Sustainability is more important today than ever before, but how can it be made more manageable? pacemaker.ai helps companies improve their sustainability perf ormance while operating efficiently.

The green transformation of steel is picking up the pace with the construction of the new direct reduction plant at thyssenkrupp Steel in Duisburg. Find out how the plant works and why hydrogen is the key to climate neutrality here.

Cement is everywhere. In houses, bridges, roads – and yet few people realize how much CO₂ is emitted during its production. The cement industry is responsible for around 7% of global emissions. No surprise there: The production of cement requires extremely high temperatures – traditionally generated by coal, oil or gas.

Without cement, our cities as we know them would not exist. But the production of the popular building material is responsible for around 7-8% of global CO2 emissions. As a technology partner, thyssenkrupp Polysius supplies innovative technologies to support cement producers in decarbonizing the industry.

Tin cans can always be returned to the material cycle by recycling. Nevertheless, there is still potential for improvement.

The production and applications of steel are diverse and complex. Our colleagues at thyssenkrupp Steel told us what the steel journey looks like and what they are already doing today to ensure that tomorrow's production is completely climate-neutral.

Ammonia can play a decisive role in driving forward the green transformation of industry - as a transport medium for green and clean hydrogen. thyssenkrupp Uhde has set itself the goal of developing an efficient ammonia cracking process.

Huge components - built to withstand extreme forces: Learn more about the design of slewing bearings and the forces they are subjected to in wind turbines.

thyssenkrupp Materials Services is a global company with around 380 locations in over 30 countries, 15,300 employees, and 250,000 customers. Such a presence carries responsibility – and the opportunity to drive positive change.

thyssenkrupp is actively shaping the transition to a climate-neutral industrial economy with the Decarbon Technologies segment. Decarbonisation will generally be achieved through leading global key technologies in the hydrogen, ammonia, cement and lime, polymers and renewable energies sectors.

One key aspect in the energy transition? Clearly wind energy! With our Pitch Bearing Unit, we have developed an innovation for wind energy to drive forward the expansion of renewable energies through wind power.

Decarbonization in the process chain: In future, thyssenkrupp Rasselstein will use hydrogen instead of natural gas in the production of packaging steel.

Green hydrogen is a promising and sustainable energy carrier. However, its transport is anything but energy efficient. Our colleagues from thyssenkrupp Uhde explain why transporting hydrogen by ship is not sustainable and why green ammonia is a good solution.

As Operational Excellence Leader, Márton Máté Tóth ensures a reduced carbon footprint in the supply chain of thyssenkrupp Materials Services.

Ammonia: The secret champion of CO2-free energy production

Slewing bearings, electrolyzes, green ammonia and methanol plants, as well as carbon capture and utilization technologies for the cement industry - thyssenkrupp is consolidating its key technologies for the green transformation under one roof.

Henning Geinitz works for thyssenkrupp Uhde. His job developing sustainable processes and plants for the chemical industry never gets boring.

Think what it would mean if everyday items such as shoes and mattresses could be produced sustainably! thyssenkrupp Uhde is engineering and developing sustainable chemical plants that will turn this into reality.

Dr. Christian Renk works at thyssenkrupp Uhde, developing green technologies for a more sustainable industry.

What is green methanol and can it make air travel more sustainable? Our experts at thyssenkrupp Uhde are asking themselves the same question. They are developing a sustainable aviation fuel based on green methanol.

Green ammonia is ideal for transporting green hydrogen as an energy storage medium.

The cement industry is one of the world's biggest emitters of carbon dioxide. Around three billion tons of C02 are attributable to cement production each year. A new research project can help decarbonize it in the future.

David Kosinski is studying industrial engineering at the renowned RWTH Aachen University. When he was looking for a job as a working student, there was no way around thyssenkrupp. As a working student at thyssenkrupp Services GmbH, David is independently responsible for sub-projects and, among other things, helps analyse the corporate carbon footprint of the entire group of companies.

There are many myths about wind energy. We took a closer look at them.
