The hydrogen economy has not yet got off the ground. Similarly, thyssenkrupp nucera's business is not yet profitable. The Dortmund-based thyssenkrupp spin-off aims to become a major international technology supplier to the industry and has a steadily growing order book. At the same time, research and development (R&D) and the establishment of the company itself are cost-intensive and the market ramp-up has so far been rather subdued. Against this backdrop, the Dortmund-based manufacturer of modular electrolysers ended its first full financial year as a listed company in the red. 📌 https://lnkd.in/epnjtK3G #annualfigures #thyssenkruppnucera #profitability #technology

The crisis in the domestic steel industry is fuelling doubts in the sector about a successful 'green' transformation. Large sections of the industry and its customers currently do not believe that the transition towards largely climate-friendly production can succeed by 2035. This is according to a new study by Oliver Wyman, which was commissioned and published by Wirtschaftsvereinigung Stahl. According to the study, 81 per cent of 192 companies surveyed believe that the transformation will fail by 2035 due to energy costs and the insufficient availability of 'green' hydrogen. https://lnkd.in/edyDtFhD (€) #analysis #study #steel #transformation #industry
