Bluemint is the steel brand used by thyssenkrupp Steel for low-carbon steel products. The sustainability content describes bluemint® Steel as a product from a future direct reduction plant, with production planned to use hydrogen and green electricity and to be certified under recognised standards. The material is presented as part of a wider strategy to reduce emissions in the supply chain, support customers’ climate targets, and contribute to decarbonisation in industrial and mobility applications. The brand is also referenced in third-party material on green steel assurance as an example of a steel product linked to verified CO₂ savings.

Bluemint Sustainability Actions

MoU with Volkswagen Group

Volkswagen Group and Thyssenkrupp Steel have signed an MoU for the supply of low-carbon steel from the future direct reduction plant. The use of bluemint® Steel will support Volkswagen in reducing CO₂ emissions in the supply chain (Scope 3) and achieving the company’s climate targets.

Direct reduction plant planned

The Thyssenkrupp Steel direct reduction plant is scheduled to be commissioned from 2027. It will operate with hydrogen and green electricity, which will significantly reduce its carbon footprint. At the start of the ramp-up phase, the plant will use natural gas as the reducing agent, before the process is switched successively to hydrogen.

bluemint® Steel certification

The resulting product – bluemint® Steel – will be certified in accordance with recognized standards and can qualify for the LESS Label A if the hydrogen used in production is generated entirely from renewable sources. This classification provides a full picture of a steel product’s climate impacts and documents its almost emission-free production.
