GreenIron raises USD 9.2 million in funding for hydrogen-based iron production

Sweden-based innovative startup GreenIron has secured a significant financing boost to build a hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (DRI) plant in Sandviken. The company has raised SEK 100 million (approximately USD 9.2 million) in additional capital from its shareholders.

GreenIron raises USD 9.2 million in funding for hydrogen-based iron production

This financing will enable the project to continue to move forward unabated. The next round of financing is scheduled to take place over the next six to nine months.

GreenIron's plant construction is already underway and the company aims to start commercial production by the end of this year. GreenIron has received the necessary environmental permits to build a DRI plant with a capacity of 28,000 tons per year using hydrogen in April 2024. Linde will play an important role in this project as hydrogen supplier.

LKAB Mining Group, one of Sweden's industrial giants, is moving forward with a similar project and has selected the Energiron technology developed by Tenova and Danieli for its hydrogen direct reduced iron plant in Jellivar. This choice demonstrates the company's commitment to sustainable iron production and technological innovation.

The European Commission also attaches great importance to environmentally friendly steelmaking projects. In June, it approved EUR 265 million in state aid to Sweden for H2 Green Steel's project to build a green steel plant. The project includes the construction of one of the world's largest electrolyzers with a capacity of 690 MW, a direct reduction unit powered by renewable hydrogen, two electric arc furnaces and cold rolling and finishing facilities.
