STOCKHOLM–Swedish steelmaker SSAB said Tuesday it has signed a letter of intent with Scania to supply fossil-free steel for use in the production of heavy-duty vehicles.
SSAB’s fossil-free steel replaces the coking coal traditionally used for iron ore-based steelmaking with fossil-free electricity and hydrogen. It aims to deliver fossil-free steel to the market at commercial scale during 2026, and that all steel deliveries for Scania’s heavy-duty vehicles will be decarbonized by2030.
Scania has outlined a strategy to significantly reduce the carbon emissions within four areas that constitute around 80% of its supply chain emissions: batteries, steel, aluminium and cast iron by 2030.
