Thyssenkrupp Unveils a Carbon-Capture Milestone and Wins a Hydrogen L…

Thyssenkrupp inaugurated the world's first industrial-scale oxyfuel carbon capture plant in cement production (95% CO₂ capture rate) whilst Berlin approved an 11 GW hydrogen-ready power plant mandate with auctions from late 2026 and full green hydrogen switchover by 2045. The regulatory win directly benefits Thyssenkrupp Nucera (electrolysis), though equity pressure persists despite the company's leadership appointment to Germany's National Hydrogen Council. If you sell electrolysis or hydrogen infrastructure to German utilities, Berlin just mandated your customer to buy. Auctions start late 2026 for 11 GW of hydrogen-ready capacity; RWE is planning 3 GW alone, and every plant will need your electrolyser or hydrogen production kit.
