SSAB has embarked on a sustainability expedition that revolutionizes steel throughout its lifecycle – from steelmaking, to end use and 100% recyclability. Today, SSAB’s blast furnaces emit 7% less CO2 than the EU average, but we are reaching for more. Innovations in the HYBRIT cooperation puts steelmaking on track to be fossil-free by 2045.
Already by 2025, continuous improvements and process technology advances will reduce current CO2 emissions by 25%. More than our production process, we know our products and offering are also part of the solution. Customers can already achieve significant CO2 savings by using SSAB’s quality high-strength steels in their products.
Operations
HYBRIT
The joint HYBRIT project sustainably innovates steel production. SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall have joined forces to develop the world’s first fossil-free steelmaking technology. HYBRIT seeks to replace coking coal, traditionally needed for ore-based steel production, with hydrogen – eliminating the carbon footprint of steel production.
Sustainable operations
Internal operational efficiency is a key focus in ensuring that our operations run as sustainably as possible.
Offering
EcoUpgraded
Working together with our customers, SSAB continuously upgrades the material and design of applications. The benefits of upgrading to high-strength steel include reduced weight, improved fuel economy and extended product lifetime – all of which significantly contribute to reducing a product’s carbon footprint.
