FRANKFURT, Feb 24 (Reuters) - Thyssenkrupp is
awarding German engineering firm SMS Group with the contract to
build a planned direct reduction plant to make low-carbon steel,
it said on Friday, a project worth more than 2 billion euros
($2.12 billion).
Thyssenkrupp had made the decision to build the site, which
will produce 2.5 million metric tonnes a year and save 3.5
million tonnes of CO2, last year as part of efforts to bring
down emissions in steel production.
