What is SHS Ventures?

SHS Ventures, headquartered in Völklingen, Saarland, Germany, is a Corporate Venture Capital fund that is actively engaging in the transformation and innovation within the steel industry. As an integral part of the SHS - Stahl-Holding-Saar GmbH & Co.

KGaA, SHS Ventures focuses on reinforcing and expanding the competitive edge of the associated companies Dillinger and Saarstahl in the market by fostering and developing new technologies that other competitors may not possess.

Their commitment extends to achieving significant CO2 reduction goals by 2030, aiming to cut down by 4.9 million tons per year, an ambitious target validated by the independent Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) in alignment with the 1.5-degree goal of the Paris Climate Agreement.

The firm plays a crucial role in supporting initiatives like H2med, a southwestern hydrogen corridor alliance, to accelerate decarbonization through the development of a hydrogen market connecting countries like France, Germany, Portugal, and Spain.

They are also a key participant in Power4Steel, Europe's largest decarbonization project, ordering critical equipment for direct reduction and electric arc furnaces, marking a significant milestone towards a greener future for the steel industry in Saarland.

Moreover, the introduction of the Low Emission Steel Standards (LESS) by Dillinger and Saarstahl, both subsidiaries of the SHS Group, underlines their dedication to producing low-carbon steel and making significant strides towards climate-friendly steel production, essential for obtaining renewable energy from wind, water, and solar sources.

SHS Ventures is committed to innovation that adheres to a philosophy of responsibility and sustainability, representing a bridge between traditional steel production and the future demands for a sustainable industry.
