This is the third year that SSAB is joining the annual climate change conference as part of Business Sweden's delegation. As leader of the green transition in the steel industry, SSAB is committed to working with key stakeholders to transition away from fossil fuels to a sustainable future.
The production of steel represents some 7-9 percent of global CO2 emissions, at the same time steel is needed everywhere. Transforming the steel industry to abate its emissions is vital to reach the targets of the Paris Agreement and to mitigate climate change.
SSAB made the world's first pilot deliveries of fossil-free steel already in 2021. Our transformation into a largely fossil-free company will result in a 10 percent reduction of
"Our research and innovation and production of fossil-free steel can change an entire industry and its value chain," says SSAB Chief Technology Officer
SSAB is calling for:
- Faster permitting procedures for green industrial projects and for needed infrastructure, such as fossil-free electricity production and expanded transmission grids.
- The need for a level playing field. Policymakers first priority should be to support R&D and up-scaling of new fossil-free technologies; not subsidizing already commercially available technologies.
- A common method on how to measure, report and verify carbon emissions. This will allow customers and consumers to compare the carbon intensity in steel products and support markets for low emission materials and products.

Facts about SSAB zero-emission steels:
SSAB has developed two types of steel with near zero emissions: SSAB Zero™ and SSAB Fossil-free™. SSAB Zero is based on recycled steel and SSAB Fossil-free is based on hydrogen direct reduced sponge iron (H-DRI) made with HYBRIT technology. Both are made with fossil-free electricity.
