This particular steel is made to be 100% CO2 neutral (as is all hydrogen in Sweden). Very much most likely made from hydro power (accounts for about 40% of power generation in Sweden - and the owner of most hydro in Sweden, "Waterfall", which is state owned, is a partner in the project) of from wind. Both energy sources is very common in the north of Sweden.

Now that you put them together like this, I noticed this will probably confuse a lot of people in years to come: hydro power is a very different thing from hydrogen power.
