Drum roll… 🥁 Meet the amazing finalists of Swedish Steel Prize 2025! #SteelPrize #Innovation

Excited to take the next step in our partnership with Putzmeister Group: we’ll supply future fossil-free steel for use in their products such as concrete pump trucks and mixers. 🤝 As the construction and manufacturing industries are responsible for a significant share of global carbon emissions, joint efforts are needed. 🌱 "We’re delighted to welcome Putzmeister as a new global partner. By choosing steel produced with HYBRIT® technology, Putzmeister is demonstrating that it’s possible to reduce the carbon footprint of construction equipment while keeping the same high quality of steel," says Thomas Hörnfeldt, VP of Sustainable Business at SSAB.

Happy to share great news: together with Toyota Material Handling Europe, we have agreed on a fossil-free partnership and deliveries of SSAB Zero™ steel. 🤝 Toyota is the first material handling equipment manufacturer to use SSAB Zero™, and it will use the steel to produce the forks and frames for hand pallet trucks. SSAB Zero™ is made using recycled steel and fossil-free energy – which means virtually zero fossil carbon emissions from the SSAB production process. ♻️ “We’re happy to work with Toyota in producing the next generation of material handling equipment with a lower carbon footprint. Toyota Material Handling Europe has been our customer via our subsidiary, Tibnor, for over 20 years, and we’re ramping up our collaboration based on our mutual trust and common goal of a fossil-free future,” says Tony Harris, Head of SSAB Europe.

Talk about taking things to the next level. Epiroc has introduced the use of SSAB Zero™ steel in a serial-produced loading bucket, making them one of the firsts in the industry to feature virtually emission-free steel in a commercial product. The result? A reduction of 15 tonnes of CO2e per bucket produced, compared with traditional steel – a proof of a partnership driving a real change in the mining industry.

HYBRIT milestone news! It is technically possible to store fossil-free hydrogen gas for the production of fossil-free iron and steel at scale. 💡⚙️   That is according to the findings of our joint pilot program with LKAB and Vattenfall on fossil-free hydrogen gas production and storage.   “With these innovative technologies, we can build strong fossil-free value chains with the potential to drastically reduce the climate footprint of the iron and steel industry,” says Martin Pei, CTO at SSAB.   A report on the findings has been submitted to the Swedish Energy Agency.   Here are three key takeaways:   💎 We built a 100 m3 hydrogen storage facility with steel-lined rock cavern technology adjacent to the HYBRIT pilot plant in Luleå in northern Sweden. Since 2022, it has been in operation for 3,800 hours during which the safety, functionality and performance of the facility have been successfully demonstrated. 💎 The tests now completed show that the technology works to support a large-scale hydrogen user, and that savings of about 25-40 percent of the variable operating costs of hydrogen gas production could be reached. 💎 The facility has undergone accelerated mechanical testing equivalent to approximately 50 years of operation, showing that the technology is ready for industrialization.   Read more ➡️ https://rb.gy/kek6mu   #FossilFreeSteel #HYBRIT #Hydrogen #Steel

We’re excited to announce that SSAB and Italian crane manufacturer Fassi Gru have reached an agreement for future deliveries of steel produced with virtually zero fossil carbon emissions. 🤝 The deal includes steel made from both iron ore and recycled scrap, which will be used in Fassi’s hydraulic and truck-mounted cranes. By adding future deliveries of SSAB Fossil-free™ steel and SSAB Zero™, Fassi will be able to bring to market a new generation of cranes with a radically reduced CO2 footprint. 🌱🏗️ “We look forward to deepening our collaboration with Fassi by delivering premium high-strength steel produced with a significantly lower carbon footprint. At SSAB, we’re proud to partner with leading companies that share our passion for innovation, sustainability, and unique advanced products,” Per Elfgren, Head of SSAB Special Steels, says.

SSAB Zero™ cuts CO₂e emissions by up to 77% compared to our traditional blast furnace steel – without compromising on quality or performance. Made with recycled steel and fossil-free electricity, biocoal and biofuels, SSAB Zero™ is a proven choice for sustainability across industries. Ready to learn more? Find the facts behind the figures in our new Environmental Product Declarations ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dqek4ajC The fossil carbon emissions in SSAB’s production of SSAB Zero™ are less than 0.05 kg CO₂e/kg steel in Scope 1 and 2 of the GHG Protocol. #EPD #SSABZero

Finnish Meriaura Energy delivers nearly carbon-free heat to 22,000 households in Germany. The company, which provides large-scale clean energy solutions, developed one of Germany’s largest solar thermal plants using tailormade SSAB cold-formed open sections. ⚙☀ “In the past we did the forming of the frame components ourselves. But with the collaboration with SSAB we can have a more cost efficient way to get precision parts for our products,” says Antti Lilleberg, Managing Director of Meriaura Energy.

Emma Perttu watched a steelmaking video and was instantly hooked. “It looked so cool. I thought: this is where I want to work.” 👷♀️   Today she is a process operator at SSAB in Luleå. She makes steel for cars, trucks, machines, buildings, frying pans and everything else that form our modern society. In the future, she will work at SSAB’s new state-of-the-art steel mill in northern Sweden, producing high quality steels that serve both the society and the planet.   Join Emma and the rest of us on our transformation journey! 💚   #FossilfreeSteel #Careers #Steel #SSABPeople #SSABLuleå
