“We are also teaming up with Stegra to support the ramp-up of their large-scale facilities in Boden and their efforts to decarbonize the steel industry,” said Heather Wijdekop, chief executive officer of the business unit at thyssenkrupp Materials Services. 

Stegra said it is in the process of building a new steel facility which will produce steel with green hydrogen from renewable energy. While the facility will sell its green steel as environmental attribute certificates to other customers, the non-prime steel going to thyssenkrupp Materials Services will not be considered CO2 reduced. 

“A partner for non-prime steel is important for the ramp-up of our steel mill and we see this as the start of a long-term partnership with thyssenkrupp Material Services as a key player in the market. Together we can drive an even stronger pull for steel products made via the green hydrogen route,” said Stephan Flapper, head of commercial at Stegra. 

The companies said the first deliveries are expected to begin in 2027.
