Fluor Corporation has announced that H2 Green Steel has selected Fluor to provide engineering, procurement and construction management services at the world’s first renewable hydrogen-based integrated ‘green steel’ mill in Boden, Sweden. Construction of the mill has already begun.

Fluor’s scope includes a melt shop, casting, rolling and finishing facilities for the project’s steelmaking plant. The H2 Green Steel site will produce 5 Mt of steel annually by 2030, with up to 95% less CO2 emissions compared to steel produced using traditional blast furnace technology.

“The execution of the H2 Green Steel project will build on Fluor’s long-term presence in the steel industry, our expertise in novel, low-emissions steelmaking technologies and our strong presence in Europe,” said Harish Jammula, President of Fluor’s Mining & Metals business line. “We are excited to be part of this important project and to support H2 Green Steel on their journey to sustainable steelmaking.”

H2 Green Steel was founded in 2020 with the purpose to decarbonise hard-to-abate industries, starting by producing steel with up to 95% lower CO2 emissions than steel made with coke-fired blast furnaces.
