HYBRIT – prefeasibility conclusions • No new major technical showstoppers identified • However, significant development efforts required to overcome main challenges +20-30% • 20-30% increase in crude steel production cost • Cost structure strongly dependent on prices of coking coal, electricity and CO 2 emission rights • Further optimisation possible • On the same level or better than competing alternatives • Anticipated shift in prices and market demands make fossil-free steel an attractive option • Strengthened belief in the concept Proceed with pilot plant (decision Feb 2018) Confidentiality – None (C1)
HYBRIT pilot plant - the next step • Pre-engineering and design since January Direct reduction Pellets • Location Luleå & Malmberget Malmberget • Direct reduction: ~1 ton/h DRI • ~600-700 Nm 3 /h (~3-4 MW e ) H 2 : Electrolysis Luleå • Steel (EAF): ~10 ton/batch • H 2 storage: TBD 2019 • Time schedule • Steel (EAF) Start groundwork summer 2018 • Commissioning early 2020 • Test campaigns 2020-2024 • Total cost 2018-2024 ~150 M € Pellets • Includes CAPEX + OPEX for whole test period • Co-funded by Swedish Energy Agency Confidentiality – None (C1)
H 2 storage – an important part of the HYBRIT concept • Underground H 2 gas storage the most cost effective storage alternative • Salt caverns not available in Sweden • Lined Rock Cavern (LRC) storage promising alternative • Natural gas LRC demo in operation in Sweden (Skallen) since early 2000 • Main challenges are 1) the liner material selection, and 2) rock mechanics at dynamic operation Confidentiality – None (C1) 12
