IPCEI project for industrial demonstration of hydrogen production, hydrogen-gas heating of pelletizing plants, direct reduction of iron and use of hydrogen in production of fertilizers and REE concentrate

• A new world standard for mining. Through digitization, automation, electrification, new ways of working and carbon dioxide free production, we are setting a new world standard for mining.
• Carbon dioxide-free sponge iron with hydrogen technology. Through the shift from iron ore pellets to carbon dioxide-free sponge iron, we are taking an important step forward in the value chain, increasing the value of our products while at the same time giving our customers direct access to carbon dioxide-free iron for steel production.
• With fossil-free technology, we will extract strategically important rare earth metals and phosphorus for mineral fertilizers from the mines' current residual products.

THE HYBRIT INITIATIVE - H2 direct reduction pilot plant and hydrogen storage pilot (SSAB) / Luleå

SSAB, LKAB and Vattenfall have started HYBRIT (Hydrogen Breakthrough Ironmaking Technology) to develop a fossil-free value chain for iron and steel production using fossil-free electricity and hydrogen.

Pilot plant for hydrogen production and direct reduction in operation. In June 2021, the three companies were able to showcase the world’s first hydrogen-reduced sponge iron produced at HYBRIT’s pilot plant in Luleå.

This first sponge iron has since been used to produce the first steel made with this breakthrough technology.

Hydrogen storage pilot to be operational in 2022.

SALCOS - Salzgitter Low CO2 Steelmaking:

Direct avoidance of CO2 formation in metallurgical processes by the replacement of carbon by (electrolytically produced) hydrogen as reducing agent in iron ore reduction. Use of already established (direct reduction plant (DRP) with natural gas), electric arc furnace (EAF) and novel (hydrogen production and DRP-EAF integration into existing plant) technologies is leading to a gradual reduction of CO2 emissions up to 95% already in 2033. Step I, the replacement of one blast furnace with one direct reduction plant, one electric arc furnace and an electrolyzer, leads to a CO2 reduction of 30 % compared to conventional route in Salzgitter and can start operation already in early 2026 (>2 Mio t CO2/a).
