Liberty Steel Group, part of India-born British businessman Sanjeev Gupta-promoted GFG Alliance, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Paul Wurth and Stahl-Holding-Saar to set up an industrial-sized hydrogen-based steel-making plant at Dunkerque in France.
The plant will be one of the first of its kind in France. The pan-European partnership will work together on a project to incorporate a 2-million-tonne Direct Reduced Iron plant with an integrated 1 GW capacity hydrogen electrolysis production unit, next to GFG’s Alvance Aluminium Dunkerque site.
