SSAB AB (publ) advances its sustainability agenda with ongoing conversion projects, including construction of an electric arc furnace in Oxelösund set for late 2026 operation using recycled scrap and fossil-free sponge iron to reduce Scope 1 CO2 emissions by up to 1.5 million tonnes annually, and a major EUR 4.5 billion mini-mill investment in Luleå approved in April 2024 with EUR 2.7 billion financing secured in 2025 to replace blast furnaces, boost premium product capacity including advanced high-strength steels and low-CO2 variants, and cut emissions by up to 3 million tonnes upon 2028 completion. The company shipped over 50,000 tonnes of SSAB Zero low-emission steel in 2024, launched the world's first fossil-free steel powder for 3D printing, and continued HYBRIT fossil-free steel pilot deliveries while updating climate targets aligned with the Paris Agreement's 1.5°C scenario for net zero by 2045.
