Case Study

Making green steel competitive

Sustainability Target: Circularity/emission reduction

CHALLENGE

Our client, a first mover in the fabrication of “green steel”,

had heavily invested in new production technology and implementation.

However, a commercialization strategy and targeted approach for selling green steel had not yet been established. Simon-Kucher was brought in to define the commercial strategy for the CO2-reduced steel products and build a fact-based decision model for the optimal value capture approach.

SOLUTION

After structuring the demand and supply side,

we developed different hypotheses on additional influencing factors for pricing CO2-reduced steel.

Next, we validated the value proposition for green steel and defined a set of pricing and portfolio scenarios based on industry cost curves as well as supply and demand. We equipped our client with a go-to-market roadmap and the requirements for an effective commercialization and pricing strategy.
