H2GS receives permission to start building steelworks in Boden

Kommunalrådet firar

On Friday, the Land and Environmental Court at Umeå District Court granted H2 Green Steel a positive building permit. The decision means that the company’s plans to build a green steel production plant at Boden Industrial Park are now likely to be realised.

The positive decision of the court means that H2 Green Steel has been granted the right to start non-construction and preparatory works such as excavation and movement of soil. It is also fully in line with what the company will initially need to do. The start of H2 Green Steel’s work on parts of the Boden Industrial Park will begin during August.

– As of today, 1 July 2022 is a historic date for Boden and an important date in Swedish industrial history. Now begins the beginning of a whole new era, unseen for over 100 years, when the Boden Fortress was built, and which will change our city and our region for generations to come. I am happy and proud to be a part of this and would like to emphasize the very good cooperation between Boden municipality and H2 Green Steel, all the good work that Boden municipality’s officials have done and the supervisory authorities who have contributed in a prompt and professional manner in the process that has made this possible, says Claes Nordmark, municipal councilor.

Parallel to this, a number of processes are underway in which the land agreement between the municipality of Boden and H2 Green Steel concerning the designated land area at Boden Industrial Park is central to both parties. The municipality’s detailed plans for both the Boden Industrial Park and the so-called Infrastructure Corridor are also up for review. The development plans do not affect H2 Green Steel’s forthcoming ground works linked to the positive building dome.

– A positive building verdict means that together with H2 Green Steel we can now continue with an incredibly exciting and complex process to step forward in the green societal transition. Much work remains to be done, but I am proud of what we in the municipality of Boden have achieved so far and made possible to ensure the progress of this particular project. Now the pressure will increase considerably and we are looking forward to an exciting autumn,” says Mats Berg, municipal manager and head of business.
