Is the steel really green?
What we are building in Boden is something new. We’re often asked about the products we will make and how to understand what “green” means when different producers take different approaches. Here are our answers!
How much lower will your emissions be compared to traditional steelmaking?
At Stegra, we will reduce CO2 emissions by up to 95% - emitting less than 200 kg of CO2 per tonne of steel, compared to ~2 tonnes in traditional blast-furnace steelmaking.
What will you use to reduce the iron ore in your process?
At Stegra, green hydrogen replaces coal in the reduction, producing steam instead of CO2. The entire process will be powered by 100% renewable electricity.
Green hydrogen is produced through electrolysis and has the potential to decarbonize heavy industries.
Is your entire offer clean and green?
Stegra is set to become the world's first large-scale green steelmaker. Our entire offer will be near-zero emission steel, with no coal-based side products.
What will power your production?
At Stegra, we will use 100% renewable electricity - hydropower and wind. Our hydrogen will be produced using water from the Lule River in northern Sweden.
