Stegra Fossilfri Grønt Stålproduksjonsanlegg i Boden

Fossilfri stålproduksjon i Boden

The Stegra Fossilfri Grønt Stålproduksjonsanlegg in Boden, Sweden, is a pioneering project focused on constructing a fully integrated iron and steel production plant that utilizes fossil-free hydrogen and renewable electricity instead of coal. This innovative plant aims to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and produce approximately 5 million tons of green steel annually by 2030. The project represents a major technological advancement in the transition of the Swedish iron and steel industry to sustainable production methods.

200 MNOK kontrakt for ventilasjon

The construction and outfitting of the plant involve several key contracts and partnerships. For example, Aeron, a company within the AF Gruppen, was awarded a contract worth around 200 million NOK to deliver HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. This contract covers detailed design, procurement, and assembly of ventilation systems, emphasizing the complexity and scale of the construction work. The building phase has commenced, with equipment deliveries and the completion of initial installations targeted for 2025.

1,6 mrd SEK i statlig støtte

The project benefits from substantial financial support, having received about 1.6 billion SEK in government funding. This includes an initial allocation of 1.2 billion SEK and an additional 389 million SEK granted in 2025 through the Industriklivet program, which has been approved by the EU Commission. This funding is crucial for securing private investment needed to complete the project and enable the realization of the full-scale plant. It also helps ensure efficient use of subsidies and mitigates financial risks associated with pioneering new green steel production technologies.

Finansiering og byggefrister kritiske

A key risk factor in the project is meeting the financing and construction milestones. By spring 2026, Stegra is required to document secured financing to proceed with the full development of the facility. The project's progress depends heavily on managing investment, meeting construction deadlines, and delivering advanced industrial solutions that strengthen the competitiveness of Nordic metal production while achieving substantial emissions reductions.

CO2-reduksjon med grønn teknologi

Environmentally, the plant is designed with a strong focus on sustainability. By replacing coal with fossil-free hydrogen and utilizing renewable electricity, the facility aims to dramatically lower CO2 emissions compared to traditional steelmaking. This makes it a vital step toward decarbonizing the steel industry and contributes significantly to national and regional climate goals.

Fullskala oppstart planlagt 2025-26

The project timeline started with immediate design and installation work leading up to an expected initial completion of key systems in 2025. The full-scale building phase is underway, with financing milestones tied to 2026. Stegra and its partners are focused on ensuring that the plant becomes operational as scheduled, thereby supporting the larger goal of fostering a green industrial transition in the Nordic region.
