LKAB already produces the world’s most climate-efficient iron ore pellets at the mines and processing plants in Malmberget, Svappavaara and Kiruna. But we will be better – much better. Our aim is to transition our entire current production from coal and oil to CO2-free electricity and hydrogen. Fossil-free fuels represent intermediate steps in our journey towards achieving complete carbon neutrality. We will further advance along the value chain and develop our iron ore pellet into pure iron, so-called sponge iron, which is also completely CO2-free. The challenge is enormous and will require 70TWh of energy to be brought into our processes, where it will be further processed together with our high-quality iron ore into completely CO2-free iron.

About the role

The department for Technology & Energy with its new section ”Energy & Hydrogen” has the mission to organize and develop a team with energy and hydrogen competence needed to transform LKAB. We will move from conventional production methods of iron oxide, using fossil fuels, to our future production of iron using hydrogen.
