H2 green Steel
Green steel production.
How does it work?
At our fully integrated, digitalized, and circular plant in Boden, northern Sweden, H2 Green Steel will produce green steel, reducing CO? emissions with up to 95 percent compared to traditional steelmaking. By replacing coal with green hydrogen powered by fossil-free electricity, water and heat become our primary emissions. And steel is only the beginning – our expertise in green hydrogen will enable us to decarbonize other heavy industries.
Why is it needed?
Steel is key to tackling climate change - as one of the world’s dirtiest industries, it is responsible for more than 7 percent of global CO? emissions.
How does it improve life?
By bringing emissions close to zero, we are enabling sustainable steelmaking – building a better, cleaner future for our planet.
