What is Bodenxt?
Bodenxt is the platform for our major green transition of the entire society in Boden. Stegra’s establishment is an important accelerator, and at the Municipality of Boden, we have stepped up our efforts to create something smart and green that will last for many generations to come.
In the coming years, we are making a development leap equivalent to 20 years, which is why we have created five sub-projects to manage and enable the transformation. The sub-projects within Bodenxt are skills supply, living and housing, business development, and infrastructure both above and below ground.
The smart and green?
The city of Boden is located in the heart of an extremely intensive inward investment region and play an important part of the global transitioning into sustainable societies. Here, 20 years of social development will take place over the next few years. And in the north of Sweden 1400 billion SEK will be invested in green reindustrialisation.
In Boden, we see opportunities in the near the smart and circular that powers the development of our contrast rich environment. Equipped for the challenges of the future, with smart and sustainable solutions for future generations to further develop.
We are the green heart of northern Sweden, where industry and commerce interact in a unique ecosystem which attracts talent from all over the world.

Green industrial areas
Boden Industrial Park is a 550-hectare industrial zone – larger than the island of Kungsholmen in central Stockholm and equivalent to more than 1,000 football fields.
The area offers abundant renewable electricity and close access to existing infrastructure, creating unique conditions for land-intensive industries that are driving the green industrial transition forward.
This is where Stegra is building the world’s first full-scale green steel plant, which, once completed, is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 95 percent compared to traditional blast-furnace steelmaking. The site will also host Europe’s largest hydrogen facility.
Boden Industrial Park additionally provides optimal conditions for large-scale greenhouse cultivation and other activities that strengthen the region’s self-sufficiency.
In early 2026, the new railway connection will be completed, linking the area to the national mainline and further out into the world.
Today, Boden Industrial Park is Sweden’s largest industrial area and one of our three major green industrial zones where we are shaping the circular Boden of the future.
Food of the future
Using surplus heat, new technologies, and innovative cultivation methods, sustainable solutions for year-round local food production are being developed. Here, greenhouse cultivation and alternative food production come together to strengthen societal resilience and reduce dependence on imported food.
Green hydrogen hub
Hydrogen is expected to play a key role in the global climate transition. In Boden, Stegra is building the world’s largest green hydrogen production facility. There are also large amounts of renewable electricity in the nearby area. Boden is therefore identified as a hub for the green hydrogen network in the northern Nordic region.
People of the heart of the transition
The societal transformation cannot happen without people. In Boden, the skills of the future are being developed through Lärcentrum, Boden Business Park, and new collaborations between industry and education. Here, a human green heart is taking shape — a place where life, work, and sustainability go hand in hand.
Stegra
Steel production accounts for 25 percent of the European industry’s carbon dioxide emissions. In total, it emits more CO₂ than all the Nordic countries combined – or more than all flights departing from Europe. To meet Swedish and European climate targets, the steel industry must transition to more sustainable methods, and new technology now makes this possible.
Stegra is developing a fully integrated, digitalized, and sustainable production facility for green steel and green hydrogen in Boden. By using green hydrogen in the steelmaking process, the facility will be able to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by up to 95 percent compared to traditional steel production. Once operational, it is expected to have an annual production capacity of 5 million tonnes of high-quality green steel and employ around 2,000 people by 2030.
