THIS IS STEGRA
Stegra is on a mission to change the global steel industry by producing green hydrogen, iron, and steel - with the goal of
eliminating CO₂ emissions. Instead of coal, we use green hydrogen and fossil-free electricity, meaning our primary emissions will
be water and heat.
By 2030, our ambition is to produce 5 million tonnes of green steel annually in our fully integrated, digitized, and sustainable
plant in Boden, Northern Sweden - currently under construction. But this is just the beginning. Our expertise in green hydrogen
will enable us to decarbonize industries beyond steel, paving the way for a cleaner future.
