RecHycle Project
Recycling hydrogen
for climate neutrality
RecHycle is an EU-funded project that investigates
the use of green hydrogen and recycled
metallurgical gases in steelmaking.

Vision
Replace coal in the steelmaking and make ArcelorMittal plants carbon-neutral by 2050.
Metallurgical gases are hydrogen-rich and produced onsite. They will be injected into the blast furnace to replace coke and pulverised coal. This will help minimise CO2 emissions and sustainably produce green steel.
Mission
Promote sustainable practices by using innovative technologies and renewable energy sources to reduce carbon footprint and increase the production of green steel.
RecHycle Key Facts
Project duration: 4 years
Coordinated by: ArcelorMittal Belgium
6 partners
6.2 million euro EU contribution
More than 4.6 million tonnes of steel are produced annually
Which generates 9.6 Mt CO2 per year.
RecHycle is part of our various initiatives for a
35% CO2 Reduction
By 2030
