Construction of Hybrit Pilot Plant P1, P3, H2

All electrical and fibre installations for the establishment of Hybrit Development's new research facility on the SSAB site in Luleå.

The background to the project was that in 2016 SSAB (the Nordic region's largest steel producer), LKAB (Europe's largest producer of iron ore) and Vattenfall (one of Europe's largest producers of electric power) formed HYBRIT - a joint-venture project that aims to revolutionise steel production. HYBRIT intends to replace coke, traditionally used in the production of steel from iron ore, with hydrogen. The result would be unique. The world's first fossil-free steelmaking process with virtually no CO2 emissions. Work on the construction of the project started in 2019 and the test phase is planned to last until 2024.

- Installation of all general power and lighting.

- All installations for controlling and monitoring the plant.

- EX installations in Hybrid's own hydrogen production and storage facilities.

The commitment has resulted in an ongoing framework agreement where Install El continues its co-operation with Hybrite staff during the research phase
