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.

The coal that is used today to make iron and steel will be replaced by hydrogen produced from water and fossil free electricity. Watch this video to learn more about how fossil free electricity and hydrogen are the keys to fossil free steel.    

Becoming fossil-free starts in the mine with LKAB’s know-how. Watch the full video to learn more about LKAB’s role in HYBRIT, the joint initiative and journey together with SSAB and Vattenfall, towards fossil-free steelmaking.

Innovation through the full value chain, from iron ore, via hydrogen produces with fossil-free electricity to, finished, fossil-free steel.

The biggest challenge for the steel industry in over 1000 years. SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall started HYBRIT, an initiative to produce fossil-free steel by using electricity and hydrogen. The goal is to virtually eliminate the carbon dioxide emissions. Learn about the HYBRIT-project and the journey towards fossil-free steel. Hear Hybrit and representatives for the owner …
