  "account": "The German state of Saarland is undergoing a transformation of its steel industry to produce \"green steel\" with reduced CO2 emissions. The project, costing €4.6 billion, is being partly funded by the federal government and the state with €2.6 billion. The steel industry, one of Germany's largest CO2 emitters, aims to reduce emissions, with the Saarland project expected to cut emissions by up to 55% by the early 2030s. The production of green steel involves using hydrogen instead of coal, which is obtained from renewable energy sources. The EU Commission has introduced a regulation to protect the European steel market from cheap imports.",
