SSAB and Amazon collaborate on fossil-free steel

By Lennart HÃ¥kansson, North Sweden Business November 29, 2024

The HYBRIT technology has been developed by SSAB together with state-owned mining company LKAB and state-owned energy company Vattenfall to replace blast furnace-based production of steel. Instead of coking coal, HYBRIT technology uses hydrogen, produced with fossil-free electricity, to make sponge iron, which is then further refined into steel. The process emits water vapour instead of carbon dioxide and virtually eliminates carbon emissions from steel production.
