Digital
industrial solutions provider Mobilaris and cleantech impact startup H2 Green
Steel will work together to make use of digital solutions for the world’s first
large-scale green steel plant.
Mobilaris
and H2 Green Steel have signed a letter of intent to collaborate for the use of
digital solutions during construction, and later operations, of H2 Green
Steel’s large-scale steel plant in Boden in northern Sweden. The plant
will be the first of its kind, powered by green hydrogen and fully integrated
between digital and physical components from the start.
The
ambition of the collaboration between the two companies is to improve workforce
safety and provide a more efficient site coordination enabling an efficient,
safe and transparent way of operating a large-scale construction project, and
later on daily operations, of a next generation decarbonized steelproduction
plant.
Mikael Nyström, Chairman of the Board Mobilaris
Industrial Solutions, said:
We are very happy to establish this
relationship to H2 Green Steel.
“They
represent a new way of thinking around industrial projects where digital is not
added, it is built in from the start. Collaborating with H2 Green Steel in this
regard fits Mobilaris perfectly and we are convinced we can do great things
together.”
Both
companies share belief in pushing boundaries and transforming hard-to-abate
industries to the better by the use of technology.
Olof Hernell, Chief Digital Officer, H2
Green Steel, said:
We are executing one of the biggest
industrial projects in modern times in Sweden and securing our
digital capabilities will be key to success.
“In
all fields we collaborate with the best in the business and when we can, we
strive to work with local partners. Mobilaris has a proven capability to
transform industrial operations and are head quartered in the Norrbotten
region, making them a very good match for us and the possibility to further
accelerate the local tech ecosystem in the region,” says Olof Hernell, Chief
Digital Officer, H2 Green Steel.
