H2 Green Steel is building an ultra-modern manufacturing plant just outside Boden. The permit covers a yearly production of 5 million tonnes of green steel.
SSAB aims to deliver fossil-free steel to the market at a commercial scale during 2026 and to largely eliminate carbon dioxide emissions from our operations in around 2030.
LKAB has begun to transform its mining and processing operations with an aim to making all products and processes carbon-dioxide-free by 2045.
GravitHy’s first Direct Reduction Iron plant is expected to start-up production in 2027 in Fos-sur-Mer. The plant is designed to produce DRI using hydrogen as reductant fuel.

Ten companies registered their names on the Sustainability Champions this year, and POSCO held the honor to be selected as the Sustainability Champion both last year and this year.
FerroSilva has a letter of intent in place with Ovako for land use, as well as an offtake agreement for parts of its future production of fossil-free sponge iron.
The agreement will cover delivery of green steel from H2 Green Steel’s plant in Boden, Sweden, to Marcegaglia’s operations in Southern Europe, UK and Poland.
Outokumpu is pioneering the production of emission-minimised stainless steel in the global market. Its Circle Green product line has an astonishing 92% lower carbon footprint than the global average, and the company now provides product-specific carbon footprint data for many of its products. Green Steel World spoke to Max Menzel, Head of Sustainability & Technical Customer Service, to learn more.
Using the Nexigen® PCF Algorithm, customers can receive Kloeckner products’ carbon footprints from “cradle to gate”.
If you want to build truly sustainable and transparent value chains, you need to know the carbon footprint of the individual products – so what exactly is meant to be “green”? To date, the lack of a consistent definition of the term “green” has been a problem: how “green” is the steel you buy?
It is common knowledge that producing steel is highly carbon intensive, and there is no alternative to this indispensable material. Traditionally, one metric tonne of steel results in 1.8 metric tonnes of CO₂ emissions, on average, and steel production accounts for about 8 per cent of global CO₂ emissions. At the same time, every tonne of steel is infinitely recyclable, making it the flag-bearer of the circular economy.
“Get rid of CO2 but retain established production processes and value chains as far as possible” – the motto is embedded into the fabric of thyssenkrupp Steel’s climate strategy. The company endeavours to step into a hydrogen-powered green future while staying in the upper echelons in terms of the quality of steel grades.
“Manufacturing steel is one of the largest industrial sources of greenhouse gas emissions. Boston Metal is working on a clean way to make metal that could revolutionise the steel industry and help fight climate change,” Bill Gates describes Boston Metal, the American start-up backed by his $1 billion fund, Breakthrough Energy Ventures.
For Green Steel World, April is a special month. It is a month when we get the opportunity to further develop dialogue, views, ideas, and action for the rapid decarbonisation of the steel industry. April will witness the launch of two parallel shows: Green Steel World (GSW) and Hydrogen Tech World (HTW). Each brand will feature its own conference programme as well as a dedicated expo area, but all conveniently arranged in a single exhibition hall.
