This is translated via Google from the Swedish FB Group. I was wondering whether we will qualify for Government funding towards our Kallak operation, all being well with the Appeal outcome. Anyway:
“The private steel giant is seeking government support – a large part of climate investment
UPDATED OCTOBER 24, 2023PUBLISHED OCTOBER 24, 2023
H2 Green Steel has applied for government support of SEK 4.45 billion. The requested support must be examined by the EU Commission.
H2 Green Steel will build a facility for iron and steel manufacturing in Boden. The idea is that it should be ready by 2030.
The company has now applied for state aid of SEK 4.45 billion. Klimatklivet's entire investments for 2024 are expected to be 4.95 billion.
Tested in the EU Commission
The support applied for corresponds to 9.5 percent of the total investment of SEK 46.8 billion. In an open consultation, views must be collected regarding the consequences for competition when financing support for the measure is discussed.
The consultation process will last for four weeks. There, the actors concerned have the opportunity to submit their views.
The three guidelines are climate, environmental protection and energy. Since 1 July 2023, it is now required that a consultation be held to seek a similar support as H2 Green Steel now chooses to do.
Now it will be investigated what amount of support may be relevant for H2 Green Steel's investment.”
