Ssab mining dredge3/2/2024 SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall intend, through HYBRIT, to create the most efficient and entirely fossil-free value chain from the mine to steel, with fossil-free pellets, fossil-free electricity and hydrogen. The companies stated that hydrogen-based reduction is a critical milestone that paves the way for future fossil-free iron- and steel-making. The steel industry currently generates 7% of total global carbon dioxide emissions. The initiative has the potential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 10% in Sweden and 7% in Finland. The goal in principle is to eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from the steelmaking process by using only fossil-free feedstock and fossil-free energy in all parts of the value chain. The companies stated that this is the first time ever that hydrogen made with fossil-free electricity has been used in the direct reduction of iron ore at a pilot scale.
