HYBRIT Proves Feasibility of Large-Scale Fossil-Free Hydrogen Storage

HYBRIT project has demonstrated that large-scale storage of fossil-free hydrogen gas is not only technically feasible but also economically beneficial. Conducted by SSAB, LKAB, and Vattenfall, and supported by the Swedish Energy Agency, this initiative marks a significant step toward decarbonizing the iron and steel industry, which currently contributes to approximately 7% of global carbon dioxide emissions. By utilizing fossil-free electricity and hydrogen, HYBRIT aims to markedly reduce emissions in Sweden and Finland, potentially lowering them by 10% and 7% respectively. Central to HYBRIT’s success is the pilot facility in Luleå, Sweden, where a steel-lined rock cavern stores hydrogen gas,…
