Swedish pioneer of green steel SSAB participated in a high-level panel discussion held in connection with the European Commission and Swedish government’s visit to Kiruna in Sweden. In his message, SSAB´s CEO Mr Martin Lindqvist highlighted that the green transition is not a burden, but a business opportunity. SSAB already sees a market demand for fossil-free steel, and the aim is to start deliveries in 2026 and speed up SSAB´s own green transition by 15 years. However, to succeed, SSAB will need access to fossil-free electricity and an enabling regulatory framework that secures that the EU remains competitive and delivers on the climate goalsMr Lindqvist said that “EU Member States, just like Sweden, have much to gain from a competitive and green EU. Important going forward is to ensure a level playing field within EU and on global markets. The implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism, EU ETS, the development of green standards and the dialogue with the US are important factors to align with the overall goal to strengthen green competitiveness in Europe. We need both a green competitive market in Europa and a green transatlantic market. Europe must not fall behind and must deliver on the climate goals.”Participating in a panel discussion together with the CEO’s of LKAB, Volvo Group, Northvolt and Boliden, in front of the EU Commissioners and the ministers from the Swedish government, SSAB’s CEO talked about the transition towards fossil-free steel making by 2030...
