"Green Steel for a Fossil-free Future" is a major initiative with objectives to shape advanced theory, models and practical knowledge related to the design and production of new advanced, materials engineered, steel products - where production avoids the use of fossil fuels, avoids wastes and uses sustainably sourced and recycled materials inputs.
The intent is to accelerate the transformation of the Swedish steel industry, especially in the Norrbotten region, towards climate-neutral production.
Eight PhD students at KTH Royal Institute of Technology and Luleå University of Technology (LTU) will work in the research programme together with a range of experts from KTH, LTU and industry.
