Helping bring the world’s first large-scale, near-zero emissions steel plant online
Google is partnering with Stegra to help launch a large-scale, near-zero emissions steel plant in Boden, Sweden. The facility uses green hydrogen produced from renewable electricity instead of coal to process iron.
Why it matters
Using green steel can reduce embodied carbon emissions from data center infrastructure by up to 40%, lowering the environmental footprint of large-scale construction.
The details
The plant is located in Boden, Sweden. Google has already integrated low-carbon concrete or steel in over 20 construction projects in 2025. Additionally, Google works with the Sustainable Steel Buyers Platform to increase the market availability of green building materials.
