The global climate transition has changed demand and requirements for LKAB. LKAB will set a new world standard for mining, develop carbon-free processes and extract critical minerals.
Through the transformation we are increasing the value of our products, while contributing to a reduced climate impact.
We contribute to increased self-sufficiency of critical raw materials – for Sweden and Europe.
We have secured mineral assets that guarantees the future for ourselves and our region for a long time.
Our strategy
Based on our vision and mission, our strategy paves the way for zero carbon-dioxide emissions from our own processes and products by the year 2045.
Record-breaking deposits of ore, critical minerals and phosphorus in a new mine secure assets for the next 40 years.
Pioneering facility being built in Gällivare
The industrialisation of the HYBRIT technology begins in Gällivare, where plans are being made for a first plant for production of 1-1.5 million tons of carbon dioxide-free sponge iron.
LKAB projects designated as strategic under the EU's Critical Raw Materials Act
The mine in Malmberget, the industrial park for critical minerals in Luleå, and the new iron ore deposit in Kiruna have been granted strategic project status under the EU's Critical Raw Materials Act; projects that are seen as significant in reducing Europe's dependencies and increasing the availability of raw materials critical to the climate transition and security.
