Samforsk klimat

The Samforsk klimat initiative (2021–2023) was formed to support the steel industry's ambitions to implement its climate roadmap. Among other things, Samforsk klimat has mapped research that links to the climate roadmap.

The steel industry's climate roadmap

The Swedish iron and steel industry has developed a climate roadmap for a fossil-free and competitive steel industry. The roadmap aims to eliminate fossil-based carbon dioxide emissions and support the transition to a fossil‑free society.

The climate roadmap outlines potential solutions that can enable a fossil‑free and competitive industry, while also identifying key obstacles to achieving this goal. It highlights the importance of close collaboration between industry and policymakers for the successful implementation of the roadmap.

Furthermore, the roadmap identifies a range of needs in research, innovation, and development that must be addressed for the industry’s goals to be met. The impact of investments can be enhanced and accelerated through cooperation and coordination across the sector.

About Samforsk klimat

The Samforsk Klimat initiative was carried out from January 2021 to December 2023. It was a collaboration between Jernkontoret. It was a collaboration between Jernkontoret, members of Jernkontoret’s technical areas and Sustainable Steel Region. The initiative was supported by Vinnova, the Swedish innovation agency.

Samforsk Klimat was established to support the steel industry’s ambition to implement its climate roadmap, to disseminate information about research and development projects conducted within the framework of the roadmap, and to coordinate research efforts across the industry and related stakeholders.

The primary objectives of Samforsk Klimat were to map research linked to the climate roadmap, identify research needs, initiate and support research and development projects, and monitor and communicate project results. These linked research projects were presented on the initiative's website.
