HYBRIT – towards fossil-free steel

In 2016, SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall joined forces to create HYBRIT – an initiative that endeavors to revolutionize steel-making. HYBRIT aims to replace coking coal, traditionally needed for ore-based steel making, with hydrogen. The result will be the world’s first fossil-free steel-making technology, with virtually no carbon footprint.

During 2018, work started on the construction of a pilot plant for fossil-free steel production in Luleå, Sweden. The goal is to have a solution for fossil-free steel by 2035. If successful, HYBRIT means that together we can reduce Sweden’s CO2 emissions by 10% and Finland’s by 7%.

Why HYBRIT?

HYBRIT will make a unique contribution to a fossil-free society by enabling a steel production process that emits water instead of carbon dioxide. This can be a reality when the use of coal and coke in steel production is replaced by hydrogen produced using fossil free energy sources.
