- kzrdude 4y agoLKAB is 100% owned by the Swedish state. 2021 the dividend was pretty large and apparently around 1000 SEK per swede. Well if it would have been paid that way, it's going into the govt balance sheet of course.
- Someone 4y agoFor reference: 1000 SEK is about €90/$95

- hannob 4y agoThe Hybrit pilot plant is already operational and producing steel, although in small quantities. That sounds like a proven result to me, do you disagree? Can you summarize what the linked article (unfortunately paywalled and in swedish) says? I am quite interested in this project.
- mongol 4y agoIt is unproven that it can be done profitably at scale.
- Mrdarknezz 4y agoYeah but that does not equate to "process that has 0 proven results"
