SSAB to provide green hydrogen-derived steel for Amazon’s data centre construction

Amazon has agreed to purchase green hydrogen-based steel from SSAB for one of the three new data centres it is building in Mälardalen, Sweden.

SSAB produces fossil-free steel via its HYBRIT technology at its pilot plant in Luleå, Sweden. The process uses green hydrogen to make sponge iron, which is then further processed into steel, emitting only water.
