Name of the Project
Hybrit pilot plant.

Location
Northern Sweden

Client
SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall.

Project Description
Hybrit aims to replace coking coal, traditionally required for ore-based steelmaking, with hydrogen, which will result in the world’s first fossil-free steelmaking technology, with virtually no carbon footprint.

The initiative could reduce Sweden’s total carbon dioxide emissions by 10% and those in Finland by 7%.

Potential Job Creation
Not stated.

Net Present Value/Internal Rate of Return
Not stated.

Value
Planning and designing the pilot plant will cost about SKr20-million, of which the Swedish Energy Agency will fund half.

Duration
The pilot phase is planned to continue to 2024. Demonstration phase trials will be conducted from 2025 to 2035.

Latest Developments
In 2018, a pilot plant for fossil-free steel production will be planned and designed in Luleå and the Norrbotten iron-ore fields, 250 km north west of Luleå. The goal is to have a solution for fossil-free steel by 2035.

Key Contracts and Suppliers
None stated.

On Budget and on Time?
Too early to state.
