"These strong commitments to our debt financing show how far we have come on our journey, in a very short time. We are impressed by the collaborative approach of these institutions and the leadership they are displaying in financing the transition. The support from the European Investment Bank, Swedish National Debt Office and some of the world's leading export credit agencies and banks, not only underlines our business case and debt carrying capacity, but also highlights the willingness to support initiatives that will help fulfil the target of the Paris agreement," says Henrik Henriksson, H2 Green Steel's CEO.

歐洲投資銀行、瑞典國家債務辦公室和一些世界領先的出口信貸機構和銀行的支持,不僅突顯了我們的商業案例和債務承受能力,還突顯了支持有助於實現巴黎協議目標的倡議的意願。他説:“這些對我們債務融資的堅定承諾表明,我們在很短的時間內就取得了多大進展。我們對這些機構的合作方式以及它們在為過渡融資提供資金方面所展現的領導力給我們留下了深刻印象。”亨裏克·亨裏克森,H2 Green Steel的首席執行官。

This milestone has been enabled by a thorough due diligence process that was initiated in Q4, 2021. It represents a strong statement of support of H2 Green Steel's ambition to reduce carbon emissions in hard-to-abate industries, as well as the technical and economic merits of the Boden green steel plant by some of the world's leading financial organizations. The commitment letters and approvals remain subject inter alia to completion of final due diligence and documentation, with a further round of syndication anticipated given the substantive interest in the financing from a wide range of other commercial banks and investors.

這一里程碑得益於2021年第四季度啟動的全面盡職調查流程。它代表了對H2 Green Steel在難以減少的行業減少碳排放的雄心的強烈支持,以及一些世界領先金融組織對博登綠色鋼鐵廠的技術和經濟優勢的支持。承諾函和批准書仍有待完成最後的盡職調查和文件,鑑於廣泛的其他商業銀行和投資者對融資有實質性興趣,預計還會有另一輪辛迪加。
