The HYBRIT-initiative is granted support from the European Union, as one of seven large-scale innovative projects under the Innovation Fund. The European Union is in total investing over €1.1 billion into the seven projects.  The EU Innovation Fund is one of the world’s largest funding programs for demonstrating innovative technologies that help reduce greenhouse gas …

From mine to steel – the worlds first fossil free steel has been delivered. The result of the HYBRIT project, a first delivery that is a major step forward on the road to the fossil free value chain for iron- and steel production!  

As part of as part of the COP26 EU side events programme we organized an interesting event on decarbonizing the entire value-chain from mine to steel to end product.  Did you miss the event? Please watch it on Youtube.

Wednesday September 1st was a prominent day for HYBRIT’s Research project 1. It was time to present the results for a wider audience, at the ESTAD- conference hosted by Järnkontoret. There was a lot of interest with many interested listeners, particularly via the digital platform. The project was introduced by Hybrit General Manager Eva Vitell, …

SSAB has now manufactured the first fossil-free steel in the world and delivered it to a customer. The test delivery is an important step toward a fully fossil-free iron and steel production value chain and a milestone for the HYBRIT partnership between SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall. In July, SSAB Oxelösund rolled the first steel produced …

Now new opportunities open up to work in an exciting environment with world-unique development. A new exiting opportunity for you who wants to be part of our world-unique development towards fossil-free steelmaking. Within Hybrit’s fossil-free future value chain, industrial processes for safety, production, pressure, transport, and chemical properties of hydrogen play a central and crucial …

HYBRIT is taking yet another step towards fossil free steel by initiating a project to develop the possibilities for fossil free heating the hydrogen for the reduction process. The next step is to form a strategic partnership to develop an electric heating solution for fossil free hydrogen, that is to be used in the reduction …

SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall have now produced the world’s first hydrogen-reduced sponge iron at a pilot scale. The technological breakthrough in the HYBRIT initiative captures around 90% of emissions in conjunction with steelmaking and is a decisive step on the road to fossil-free steel.

Our society needs steel but the steel industry today emits a vast amout of carbon dioxide. SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall aim to change this together, through the HYBRIT-project. Watch the movie to hear more about the journey towards fossil free steel.  

SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall have commenced building a rock cavern storage facility for fossil-free hydrogen gas on a pilot scale next to HYBRIT’s pilot facility for direct reduction in Luleå, North of Sweden. This is an important step in the development of a fossil-free value chain for fossil-free steel.

SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall are now taking a new, decisive leap forward in their work to make fossil-free steel for the global market. Industrialization of the technology being developed through HYBRIT will start in Gällivare, northern Sweden, where the world’s first production plant for fossil-free sponge iron – from feedstock to steel – is being planned.
