The success of the German steel industry in decarbonising its production processes depends on the technological processes involved. In the first part of the marketSTEEL interview, AMBARtec CEO Matthias Rudloff presented the iron-steam process as a cost-effective and less labour-intensive alternative to direct reduction.  

However, economic policy conditions also play a decisive role. Dagmar Dieterle, editor and founder of the information platform, asked Matthias Rudloff for his assessment on this topic as well.
