Economically viable energy transitioning in full pace.

🚀 Great News! We’ve received the necessary environmental permit to transform our plant in Luleå, Sweden, to a state-of-the-art mini-mill for fossil-free steel production. 😀 The permit will enable a technology shift that will have significant positive effects on the environment and the climate. It will also allow SSAB to meet the high demand for our unique steels and to strengthen our future competitiveness. “This is a big day for us at SSAB and for the transformation to fossil-free steel production in Sweden. Now we can proceed with an investment that will result in reduced climate impact of national significance. At the same time, we safeguard jobs in Luleå, create a more flexible and cost-effective production and strengthen our and our customers’ competitiveness with a wider offering of unique premium products,” says Johnny Sjöström, President and CEO at SSAB.
