EP3: Göran Nyström, Creating Flexibility and Agility Using Hydrogen

Global Tales of Carbon Transition by Erik Rakhou, Joachim von Scheele, Oghosa Erhahon, Jaqueline Pinto.

Episode notes

This week, we are joined by Göran Nyström. Until recently, Göran was the Chief technology Officer (CTO) at leading European specialty steel producer Ovako; now his role is as Senior Advisor to the company.

Ovako has taken on a fantastic journey to carbon neutrality, which includes various tools, such as, voluntary carbon offsets, buying only renewable electric power, increase of direct energy-efficiency, reuse of heat, replacement of fossil fuel with hydrogen.

With Göran we discuss all this, and with a certain focus on their leading use of oxyfuel for energy-efficient combustion and being the first steel producer in the world to heat their steel with hydrogen as a fuel. Another very interesting aspect is the flexibility Ovako has created in their energy supply, which supports agility in the transition to carbon neutrality.
