Highlights:

  • Swedish Steel is working towards using renewable hydrogen to decarbonize their industrial steel process by 2026
  • A shift to renewable hydrogen could reduce Finland’s greenhouse gas emissions up to 7% and Sweden’s emissions up to 10%
  • Steel manufacturing is one of the world’s largest consumers of fossil fuels, and it has been estimated that the industry currently accounts for somewhere between 7 and 9 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions
