GreenIron's Sustainable Partnership: Leading the Way in Green Hydrogen Production
Key Ideas
  • GreenIron, a Swedish start-up, partners with Norwegian Hydrogen to source green hydrogen for its fossil-free metal production plant in Sandviken.
  • Norwegian Hydrogen's daily production capacity of 1.3 tonnes supplies green hydrogen to companies like GreenIron and Veidekke, aiding in emission reduction.
  • The collaboration ensures a secure supply chain for GreenIron as they prepare to scale up production and reduce emissions in the iron and steel industry.
  • By 2025, GreenIron plans to produce 28,000 tonnes of direct reduced iron annually using green hydrogen as a reducing agent, supporting broader sustainability goals.
GreenIron, a Swedish start-up, is set to launch operations using renewable hydrogen sourced from Norwegian Hydrogen. The company has secured a contract for green hydrogen supply to fuel its fossil-free metal production plant in Sandviken, Sweden. Deliveries from Norwegian Hydrogen's production plant in Hellesylt, Norway, will commence soon. As GreenIron expands its operations in 2025, the contracted hydrogen volumes will increase, necessitating additional production capacity. Norwegian Hydrogen, with a daily capacity of 1.3 tonnes, has already begun supplying green hydrogen to companies like GreenIron and Veidekke. The Sandviken plant is slated to start iron production by the end of 2024, utilizing green hydrogen as a reducing agent. This hydrogen will be transported in pressurized containers from the Hellesylt plant, around 800 km away. The partnership reflects a commitment to reducing emissions in the iron and steel industry. GreenIron plans to produce 28,000 tonnes of direct reduced iron annually, aligning with sustainability goals and environmental permits obtained earlier this year. The collaboration between GreenIron and Norwegian Hydrogen highlights a significant advancement in green hydrogen production and emission reduction efforts in the industry.
