Progress report for
HYBRIT - Towards fossilfree steel
Achievement at a glance
The final report of the Pre-feasibility Study was released on February 1, 2018, with the following key findings:<br>
<br>- No unforeseen technical obstacles identified
<br>- Production cost comparison for greenfield cases under current Swedish conditions:
<br>o HYBRIT-case cost 20-30% higher than Blast Furnace case at todays situation (with free Emission Trade System rights)
<br>o Future trends make HYBRIT attractive:
<br> lower renewable electricity cost
<br> higher CO2-emission cost
<br> lack of coking coal
<br>- Scale up in pilot & demo plants are critical steps in the development
<br>
<br>The HYBRIT project has now entered into the second phase a pilot plant study phase. The plan for the pilot plant is to start construction during the summer of 2018 and ready for trial campaigns in 2020.
