Sweden's oldest river dam at Vattenfall's research centre
Sweden's oldest river dam stands near Vattenfall's research centre in Sweden. Electricity provider Vattenfall is one of the initiators of the HYBRIT Fossil-Free Green Steel Pilot Plant, the site that produced the world's first batch of fossil-free sponge iron. The plan is a joint Swedish investment by steel-maker SSAB, iron ore miner LKAB and Vattenfall. With HYBRIT technology, SSAB aims to be the first steel company in the world to bring fossil-free steel to the market already in 2026 and largely eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from their own operations in around 2030. In 2016, SSAB, LKAB (Europe’s largest iron ore producer) and Vattenfall (one of Europe’s largest energy companies) joined forces to create HYBRIT – an initiative that endeavors to revolutionize steelmaking. Using HYBRIT technology, SSAB aims to replace coking coal, traditionally needed for ore-based steelmaking, with fossil-free electricity and hydrogen. The result will be the world’s first fossil-free steelmaking technology, with virtually no carbon footprint. Their goal is to reduce Sweden’s CO2 emissions by 10% and Finland’s by 7%.
