About Stegra

Stegra aims to transform the global steel industry by producing green hydrogen, iron, and steel – completely without CO₂ emissions. Instead of coal, we use green hydrogen and fossil-free electricity, which means our main emissions are water and heat.

Our ambition is to produce 5 million tons of green steel per year by 2030 in our fully integrated, digitized, and sustainable facility in Boden, which is currently under construction. This is just the beginning. Our expertise in green hydrogen will enable us to reduce emissions in other industries as well.
