Google and Stegra in Agreement for Environmental Attribute Certificates
Google will buy certificates for up to 91,000 metric tons of Stegra steel in a deal meant to support low-carbon production.
- On Thursday, Google announced an agreement to purchase environmental attribute certificates from Stegra, a green-hydrogen steel mill under construction in Boden, Sweden.
- Google reported an 18% rise in annual emissions from 2024 to 2025, driven by data center materials including steel, prompting the tech giant to seek decarbonization solutions.
- Claire Dougherty, an industrial decarbonization program manager at RMI, said the certificates help expand demand by decoupling environmental attributes from physical steel through a "book and claim" system.
- Adam Elman, Director of Sustainability for Google in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, said certificates are "another vital mechanism" for addressing industrial emissions, with the deal covering up to 91,000 metric tons in year one.
- Iron and steel production accounts for roughly 9% of annual human-caused carbon dioxide emissions globally, positioning Stegra's technology as critical to decarbonizing one of the world's most carbon-intensive industries.
