SSAB is undertaking a strategic roadmap to revolutionize iron- and steelmaking, and to be the world’s first steel company to deliver iron ore-based fossil-free steel to the market in 2026. This includes an active leadership role in the HYBRIT joint venture initiative with LKAB and Vattenfall. The target is to be fossil free as a company by 2045.
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.
Internal operational efficiency is a key focus in ensuring that our operations run as sustainably as possible.
What is the environmental impact of a product throughout the whole lifecycle? You can find this out in SSAB’s environmental product declarations, EPDs.
SSAB's targets for greenhouse gas emissions including carbon dioxide have been approved by the Science Based Targets initiative. The approval means that the objective is scientifically based and in line with the Paris Agreement.
SSAB, using HYBRIT technology, which endeavors to revolutionize steelmaking, aims to replace coking coal, traditionally needed for ore-based steelmaking, with fossil-free electricity and hydrogen. SSAB has now also joined the European Clean Hydrogen Alliance.
