thyssenkrupp Steel and Mercedes-Benz have agreed to expand their existing cooperation to include CO2-reduced steel, and signed a memorandum of understanding to this effect in April.

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.

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?

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.

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.
