The decision, which was made after considering both locations, is expected to reduce Sweden's carbon dioxide emissions by 7% upon completion in 2028.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Teivainen |first=Aleksi |date=8 April 2024 |title=SSAB chooses Sweden over Finland as location for €4.5bn fossil-free mill |url=https://www.helsinkitimes.fi/business/25076-ssab-chooses-sweden-over-finland-as-location-for-4-5bn-fossil-free-mill.html |access-date=18 February 2025 |website=Helsinki Times |language=en-gb}}</ref>
