SSAB to supply fossil-free steel for Alstom’s hydrogen trains

SSAB has agreed to supply fossil fuel-free steel for the production of Alstom’s hydrogen-powered trains.

The steel, dubbed SSAB Zero, is the “world’s first” commercial steel made of recycled steel and produced with renewable electricity and biogas.

Alstom’s Traxx Shunter is reported to be compatible with hydrogen, battery and catenary systems. The Traxx Shunter H is a hydrogen locomotive that combines fuel cell and battery technologies to achieve zero carbon emissions, which will be further enhanced with SSAB’s steel.

The first delivery of SSAB Zero is expected to happen this year. H2 View understands the collaboration supports Alstom’s 2030 goal of reducing emissions from produced goods and services by 30%.
