H2 Green Steel Boden steel plant is a direct reduced iron-electric arc furnace (DRI-EAF) steel plant under construction in Boden, Norrbotten, Sweden.
Location
The map below shows the approximate location of the plant in Boden, Norrbotten, Sweden:
- Location: Boden Industrial Park, Boden, Norrbotten, Sweden
- Coordinates (WGS 84): 65.805389, 21.759140 (approximate)
Background
As of January 2024, H2 Green Steel had secured around €6.5 billion in total financing, including €3.5 billion in senior debt and up to €600 million in junior debt, alongside close to €300 million in equity. This funding, supported by a diverse consortium of lenders and investors, represents a major step forward in advancing sustainable steel production practices.[1][2]
The European Commission approved a €265 million direct grant for H2 Green Steel as a Swedish measure funded through the Recovery and Resilience Facility. [3]
Low-emissions/green steelmaking
This steel plant is associated with a green steel project tracked in the Green Steel Tracker. Details about the project are included below.
