energy concepts | future of production | Sustainability and climate protection | To make steel production more sustainable, thyssenkrupp is already working on promising hydrogen-based technologies. Because the production of hydrogen requires a lot of electricity, the expansion of renewable energies is a decisive factor for large-scale industrial implementation. During her visit to our Duisburg steel site, Germany’s Federal Research Minister Anja Karliczek pointed out that this challenge could only be met by working together. She was impressed by thyssenkrupp’s two-pillar strategy for green steel.

innovation | Smart energy | Sustainability and climate protection | Urbanization | Year after year, rice and wheat fields burn in many regions of northern India – and dark smoke clouds pollute the already smog-polluted air of Delhi even more. Now, a new technology from thyssenkrupp could put an end to the so-called “stubble burning” that was born out of the plight of local farmers. And it could also supply the Indian power grid with green energy.

Automotive-sector | Career at thyssenkrupp | Engineering | Many young engineering students dream of building their own racing car. Formula Student makes this dream come true. But if these university racing teams are to mix it with the crème de la crème at international level, it’s crucial they have strong partners. At Racing Day in Austria, the automotive professionals from thyssenkrupp support the teams they sponsor not only by helping with the design of their high-tech racers but also in matters of business expertise. Without pressure, but with lots of automotive experience. And a great opportunity for a perfect start to their career.

Career at thyssenkrupp | Engineering | innovation | People at thyssenkrupp | On ​International Women in Engineering Day, we want to show the world that engineering excellence is no question of gender – it's a question of talent, passion and a certain view on our world. A perfect example for this is our colleague Vijaya Thippavajjula. As a child, she wanted to know how the world works. As a professional engineer at thyssenkrupp, she leads a project that is taking elevator availability, reliability and efficiency to new heights.

Apprenticeship at thyssenkrupp | Engagement | People at thyssenkrupp | In 2016, Amadou Bah started an internship at thyssenkrupp. Three years later, he is about to complete his apprenticeship. Heinz-Joachim Klose, Head of Training in Siegen, has nothing but praise for his mentee, who once came to Germany as a refugee from Guinea. Today, Amadou Bah pulls the strings for a successful future himself.

innovation | Sustainability and climate protection | #greenminded is when you capture and process greenhouse gases where they come from. This sustainable idea is particularly important in cement production: seven percent of global CO2 emissions are caused by the constantly growing industry alone. The good news is that thyssenkrupp's Oxyfuel allows the harmful greenhouse gas CO2 to be separated in concentrated form and made usable. Currently, thyssenkrupp is further developing the innovation in groundbreaking research projects. Social and political developments in 2019 also point even more clearly in the direction of tackling climate change.
