The ENERGIRON® technology, jointly developed by Tenova and Danieli, has been chosen by LKAB, for the basic engineering of its 100% hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (DRI) plant in Gällivare, Sweden
Sandvik has received a major order from the Swedish mining company LKAB to supply automated loaders for use at the Kiruna mine in northern Sweden, the world’s largest underground iron ore mine. The order is valued at approximately SEK 250 million.
HYBRIT’s hydrogen storage has now been tested commercially on the electricity market. Its excellent results are important for the industry’s transition.The hydrogen storage was first put into operation during the summer of 2022, with tests continuing until 2024.
LKAB has begun to transform its mining and processing operations with an aim to making all products and processes carbon-dioxide-free by 2045.
SSAB is aiming to launch the world’s first fossil-free steel at a commercial scale by around 2026. While the greener variant of the metal is the hottest topic on the steel market right now, there is still a lot of obscurity around it. To answer some of the key questions, the Swedish company recently hosted a factpacked webinar called, “What is fossil-free steel and when will production start?”.
The HYBRIT initiative was started by SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall to develop a new technology for hydrogen-based iron and steelmaking.
HYBRIT has taken another important step in developing the overall value chain for fossil-free iron and steel production.
SSAB works with iron ore producer LKAB and energy company Vattenfall in Sweden as part of the HYBRIT initiative.
With the technological shift in steel manufacturing being the need of the hour, in 2016, Swedish manufacturer SSAB joined forces with mining company LKAB and energy provider Vattenfall, thus HYBRIT was born.
SSAB works with LKAB and Vattenfall as part of the HYBRIT initiative to develop a value chain for fossil-free iron- and steel production.
