Sustainable Business Sweden's HYBRIT delivers world's first fossil-free steel Reuters August 19, 20217:12 AM PDT Updated 2 years ago STOCKHOLM, Aug 18 (Reuters) - Swedish green steel venture HYBRIT said on Wednesday that it had made the world's first customer delivery of steel produced without using coal as it looks to revolutionize an industry that accounts for around 8% of global greenhouse gas emissions. HYBRIT, owned by SSAB (SSABa.ST), state-owned utility Vattenfall (VATN.UL) and miner LKAB, said it would deliver the steel to truck-maker Volvo AB (VOLVb.ST) as a trial run before full commercial production in 2026. "I'm happy to be minister for enterprise and energy in a country where industry is bubbling with energy for a (green) reset," Ibrahim Baylan, Minister for Business, Industry and Innovation, told a press conference on Wednesday. HYBRIT started test operations at its pilot plant for fossil-free steel in Lulea, northern Sweden, a year ago.

Hydrogen is a key part of the EU's plan to reach net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. SSAB, which accounts for 10% of Sweden's and 7% of Finland's carbon dioxide emissions, said the trial delivery was an "important step towards a completely fossil-free value chain". "The goal is to deliver fossil-free steel to the market and demonstrate the technology on an industrial scale as early as 2026," it said in a statement. Another green steel venture, H2 Green Steel, is planning to build a fossil fuel-free steel plant in the north of Sweden, including a sustainable hydrogen facility, with production starting in 2024. Volvo said in April it would start production this year of prototype vehicles and components from the green steel. read more Reporting by Helena Soderpalm; Editing by Simon Johnson reuters.com climate.mit.edu
