Thyssenkrupp has started operations at the world's first industrial cement plant using Pure-Oxyfuel carbon capture technology in Mergelstetten, Germany. The facility can capture up to 95% of CO2 from clinker production, processing around 450 tonnes daily. This is a key milestone for decarbonizing cement, one of the hardest industrial sectors to clean up. The technology could later be adapted for other heavy industries. Separately, Thyssenkrupp's naval division TKMS is the sole bidder for India's Project 75(I) submarine program worth roughly €8 billion. The company also received a policy lift from Germany's new Kraftwerksgesetz, which will tender 11 GW of hydrogen-ready gas plants from 2026. Thyssenkrupp Nucera, its electrolyser subsidiary, stands to benefit directly from this hydrogen demand pipeline. Meanwhile, major investor Sunil Jagwani halved his stake to 3.85%, but the stock rose 1.43% to €11.70.
