Fossil-free steel
HYBRIT (Hydrogen Breakthrough Ironmaking Technology) is a groundbreaking effort to reduce emissions in the steel industry by using hydrogen instead of coking coal in the steelmaking process. And today, that technology is being put to the test at a pilot plant for the first time in Lulea, northern Sweden.
It’s the world’s first fossil-free hydrogen-powered steel plant. It’s run by Swedish-Finnish steel company SSAB, Swedish mining company LKAB, and Swedish government-owned multinational power company Vattenfall, and the three together created HYBRIT.
SSAB aims for the first fossil-free steel to be commercially available by 2026, and to become fossil-free in its operations by 2045. It could reduce Sweden’s carbon dioxide emissions by 10% and Finland’s by 7%, respectively, according to H2 View.
