Why it matters

Steel and aluminum are foundational yet hard to abate. The partnership pairs Baowu's process leadership with ROTOBOOST's TÜV SÜD–certified TCD platform to deliver on-site hydrogen and monetize solid carbon—cutting emissions with compelling unit economics.

About the technology

ROTOBOOST's TCD splits natural gas into hydrogen-rich gas and solid carbon without direct process CO₂. Modular systems enable on-demand hydrogen and production-grade carbon products. In May 2025, ROTOBOOST became the first TCD company to secure TÜV SÜD certification for low-carbon footprints of both hydrogen and carbon products.

Project scope

Strategic impact

Under the BF–MOST framework, the collaboration addresses four bottlenecks—reliable low-carbon hydrogen supply, cost and unit economics, integration with existing assets, and materials performance—creating a replicable blueprint for large-scale deployments in steel and aluminum.

Next steps

Engineering, safety, integration studies begin immediately, followed by phased deployments and performance validation to inform roll-out.
