According to the agreement, Gestamp, through its recycling division, Gescrap, will supply Hydnum Steel with high-quality steel scrap obtained as a result of stamping. Using renewable energy and environmentally friendly hydrogen, Hydnum will transform this scrap into ultra-low carbon steel, completing a sustainable production cycle from recycling to production.
Technical cooperation in the field of automotive steels
In addition to sourcing materials, the partnership includes the joint technical development of advanced steel grades designed to meet the demanding requirements of the automotive industry, including aspects such as chemical aspects. composition, mechanical strength, thickness accuracy and surface quality.
Gestamp will gain priority access to these specially developed steels for the production of high-performance automotive structures, which will strengthen its leadership in lightweight and sustainable component design.
Decarbonization is at the heart of the Gestamp strategy
Steel and aluminum together account for more than 70 percent of Gestamp's total carbon dioxide emissions, mainly due to the energy-intensive nature of their production. By closing material cycles and using hydrogen metallurgy, the company is taking a decisive step towards carbon-neutral mobility.
