J•Extension on Duisburg direct reduction plant
Jacobs won an extension to keep managing construction on thyssenkrupp Steel’s hydrogen-capable direct reduction plant in Duisburg, Germany.
The scope covers project management office, construction management, assembly management, design coordination and logistics coordination.
The plant targets about 2.5 million metric tons of direct reduced iron a year, shifting production from coal-based blast furnaces to hydrogen.
Jacobs first secured the program and construction management contract in August 2023.
