<![CDATA[voestalpine unveils further expansion plans for greentec steel at its Donawitz location]]> Thu, 18 Jun 2026 07:29:16 GMT 2026-06-18T07:29:16Z https://www.voestalpine.com/group/en/media/press-releases/2026-06-18-voestalpine-unveils-further-expansion-plans-for-greentec-steel-at-its-donawitz-location/ As planned, voestalpine will commission an electric arc furnace (EAF) at its Donawitz location in just under a year, thereby combining electric steel production powered by green electricity with its conventional blast furnace process as of 2027. This will mean that one blast furnace can be shut down as early as 2029. Subject to outstanding funding issues being resolved, approximately EUR 100 million will be invested in the further expansion of the new EAF plant by 2030. This would allow the Group to fully transition to electrified steel production at its Donawitz location starting in 2030.
