"We are very pleased with and proud by the consistency in the good results and excited by the opportunities this can offer to the steel industry's green transition. Thanks to years of dedicated work from the research team, we have made the hydrogen-based pathway to decarbonize steelmaking more accessible and efficient. It can help to mitigate climate change," says Martin Pei, CTO of SSAB and member of the Hybrit board.
"These extraordinary test results confirm that we are on the right track in establishing an efficient fossil-free value chain in the iron and steel industry. One element behind the high quality of the sponge iron produced is the high-quality iron ore from
"It is very encouraging to see that these results not only confirms the climate benefits of replacing fossil fuels with hydrogen from fossil-free electricity, but also that decarbonization can actually lead to better industrial processes and products. This new knowledge is a direct result of close value chain cooperation, determined innovative thinking and bold efforts in piloting new technology - a recipe to copy for other industrial sectors," says Andreas Regnell, Senior Vice President and Head of Strategic Development at
