    SSAB Americas Targets Fossil-free Production by 2026

    Written by Sandy Williams


    SSAB Americas plans to be the first supplier of fossil-free steel in North America. The company has targeted 2026 for its operations in Montpelier, Iowa, to be powered completely by renewable energy.

    The Montpelier facility is powered primarily by wind farms operated by MidAmerican Energy. The steel produced at the Iowa mill is used to build energy infrastructure such as wind towers and bridges, as well as heavy construction equipment. MidAmerican Energy expects to deliver 100 percent renewable energy to its customers by 2022.
