HYBRIT - Toward fossil-free steel
In 2016, SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall joined forces to create HYBRIT - a joint venture project that endeavors to revolutionize steel-making. HYBRIT aims to replace coking coal, traditionally needed for ore-based steel making, with hydrogen. The result is unique: The world’s first fossil-free steel-making technology with virtually no carbon footprint.
EcoUpgraded - Upgrade and save in CO2 emissions
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.
