Google partners with Stegra on near-zero emissions steel plant in Sweden

GOOGL•2026-09-17

Alphabet partnered with Stegra to support a large-scale green hydrogen-based steel plant in Boden, Sweden, targeting near-zero emissions output.
The agreement provides Google environmental attribute certificates tied to up to 91,000 metric tons of Stegra steel in its first production year.
Stegra estimates removing coal from iron processing can cut emissions by up to 95% versus traditional blast-furnace steelmaking.
Alphabet estimates wider use of low-carbon concrete or steel can reduce embodied carbon in data center infrastructure by up to 40%.
In 2025, Google integrated low-carbon concrete, steel, or both in more than 20 construction projects.
