Phosphorus

Luleå industrial park will recover phosphorus and rare earths from iron ore output to bolster European supply security; demo plant starts soon and ~500 jobs expected.

Designates battery materials as its second core business; secures phosphorus and lithium upstream; opened Haiyang Green Power Industrial Park for LFP production in March 2025; broadened downstream battery-materials portfolio.

New facility adds ~7–8 Mt/y capacity, prepares for apatite handling for phosphorus and rare-earth plans, backed by SEK 6bn investment and due in 2028.

Stable production and deliveries but lower sales and operating profit due to USD hedging losses and higher energy, maintenance and urban transformation costs; two key permits granted.

Residual heat from thermal treatment of sewage sludge will enter the town heating network, cutting fossil-fuel use and supporting phosphorus-recycling efforts.

Court allows continued and expanded mining and processing in Malmberget, including a demo fossil-free sponge iron plant and an apatite processing line for Luleå supply.

Publishes updated Green Financing Framework aligned with ICMA and LMA standards and the EU Taxonomy; covers energy, circular economy, carbon capture; independent SPO confirms quality

Plan enables extraction of phosphorus and all 17 rare earths from iron‑ore residues; demo plant nearing operation; supports EU supply security, regional jobs; full investment pending tests.

Immediate liquidity relief and CAP flexibility for farmers; boost domestic, low‑carbon and circular production; improve market transparency, monitoring, and preparedness.
