The union welcomed Thyssenkrupp’s commitment to replace two of its blast furnaces with a direct reduction plant, which in the future will enable the company to produce less carbon-intensive steel using hydrogen.

Here's the fun thing about bulk hydrogen: it's produced using a process called "methane steam reforming". Anyone who tells you that they'll get the bulk hydrogen from electrolysis is either a fossil fuel agent, or an ignoramus who's listening to fossil fuel agents.

First, it releases ridiculous amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere.

Second, it uses methane as a feedstock.

Where will your methane come from, Germany?
