SSAB to Supply GE Vernova’s Wind Towers With IEA Standard Green Steel
09/24/2025 - SSAB ZeroTM steel produced with hydrogen-reduced iron from HYBRIT® technology has met the International Energy Agency (IEA) near-zero steel and First Movers Coalition (FMC) thresholds and will be used in GE Vernova’s onshore wind towers.
The announcement was made at GE Vernova’s Annual Wind Supplier Conference today. The company said SSAB Zero steel is the first near-zero CO2e steel to meet the thresholds.
“SSAB Zero gives our customers confidence that they’re not compromising on quality while advancing their sustainability goals. Our partnership with GE Vernova strengthens our commitment to clean energy and the security of a domestic steel value chain,” said Chuck Schmitt, president of SSAB Americas.
SSAB Zero is commercially available and produced by SSAB’s Montpelier, Iowa, USA, facility using recycled scrap metal, fossil-free energy, biocoal and renewable natural gas. Adding hydrogen-reduced iron to the manufacturing process has made SSAB Zero meet the requirements set out by the IEA.
Both companies are members of the FMC. SSAB Zero steel will be deployed in GE Vernova wind towers across the U.S.
“This verified near-zero-emissions steel supports our mission to electrify, to thrive and decarbonize the world. Together, our companies are providing for a more sustainable and secure energy economy,” said Guy Lynch, vice president of wind sourcing and sustainability for GE Vernova.
SSAB said SSAB Zero is designed for end-use applications such as automotive, mining, agriculture, construction, heavy equipment, transportation and energy.
