10 Target 2045 Sweden has established a unique, world-class Lime and cement production likewise uses CO2 -free system for processing iron ore. indirect heat from electricity and/or biomass, Iron ore is processed by direct reduction using and process emissions are handled via CO2 hydrogen. Pellets production continues as well, separation and geological storage (CCS) or reuse with process heat from CO2 free energy, (CCU). either biomass or indirect heating via electricity. These investments have been expensive and Hydrogen gas production, direct reduction and have not been borne by individual companies pellets production have been co-located for -public funding in investments in technological optimal energy use. progress have been essential. Processing of other metals is also CO2free.

11 Challenges! Internal transport and machine operations Process development, refining and transformatoin Process emissions that are not affected by fuel switching

12 What, How and When? Internal transport and machine operation Fossilfree ~ % additional electrification Biofuel blending Increased digitalisation R&D hydrogen/advanced batteries 50-95% additional electrification Remainder biofuelled New mines 100% electrified Extensive phase-out of old technologies 100% fossil-free Extensive electrification Extensive digitalisation and automation Introduktion of biofuels for process Biofuel co-firing Direct reduction with hydrogen heat New pellets plant Electricity or other klimate-neutral R&D on alternative heating Tests of alternative heat sources energy source in pellets production technologies (electric, etc.) Implementation of strategic CCS/CCU infrastructure established Strategic programs for new process programs System integration routes (e.g. HYBRIT, CemZero) Process development and mineral transformation Fossil-free ~2045

13 The most important factors where politics can make a difference: Efficient and fair permitting processes so that necessary, climate-efficient investments are possible. A holistic view in political decision so that, for example, incentives and regulations that harm competitiveness and make the transition to fossil-free production more difficult are avoided. Investment in research, development, demonstration and upscaling for fossil-free production processes and CCS. Access to reliable, fossil-free electricity with a low total system cost. Access to biomass and biofuels at affordable prices, based on strategic allocation of resources.

15 Swedish cement industry towards a climate neutral built environment Karin Comstedt Webb, Sustainability manager HeidelbergCement Northern Europe

16 Cement enabling climate neutral construction Concrete necessary in a sustainable built environment and a building material needed for reaching the SDGs! Cement is the key ingredient in concrete. Swedish and Norwegian cement industry s climate zero vision: Innovation and elimination of fossil fuels. Carbon capture, storage and use (CCS, CCU) key in reaching zero vision.

17 How we make it happen! Public procurement including sustainability parameters based on lifecycle analysis (LCA). Public support enabling carbon capture in cement industry. A national CCS/CCU strategy with international outlook. TOGETHER TOWARDS A CLIMATE NEUTRAL BUILT ENVIRONMENT 2045!

21 Reducing the carbon footprint Carbon footprint of lignin is roughly 90% lower than the carbon footprint of phenol CO 2 emissions of a CLT-frame building are significant lower compared to alternative building material EcoFishBox by Stora Enso has 30% lower CO 2 emissions than a traditional plastic fish box Fibre-based beverage carton has 45% lower CO 2 emissions than a PET plastic bottle 21

22 The Forest sector will provide society with renewable materiels products energy How shall we drive growth in the global bioeconomy Promote a biobased society Assured access to biomass from sustainable forestry Competitive conditions for the forest sector Enable efficient and fossil-free transport Efficiency Electrification Bio-fuels Resources for research and innovation for a bioeconomy
