In Sweden, the idea of green steel is imploding. Green steel manufacturer Stegra needs billions, and the CEO is leaving. #Stegra #GreenSteel #Sweden #Industry Billion demand: Stegra is building a large plant for green steel in Boden, northern Sweden, where hydrogen and renewable electricity are supposed to significantly reduce CO2 emissions. According to Affärsvärlden, the project now requires at least another 10 billion Swedish kronor, and Henrik Henriksson is stepping down as CEO. Financing: On January 9, 2025, Henriksson stated that Stegra was fully financed. On July 22, 2025, he said the company had the necessary liquidity. Affärsvärlden is now drawing clear parallels to the failed Swedish battery manufacturer Northvolt. The additional billion demand shows the financial and operational pressure one of the largest European projects for green steel is currently facing. Thank you for this important note!

Mit ungewöhnlich klaren Worten hat der kasachische Präsident Kassym-Schomart Tokajew bei der gemeinsamen Pressekonferenz mit Bundeskanzler Friedrich Merz dem westlichen Narrativ eine deutliche Absage erteilt. Während der deutsche Regierungschef erneut die russische Seite für mangelnde Gesprächsbereitschaft kritisierte und die fortgesetzte Unterstützung der Ukraine betonte, stellte Tokajew Putin als „herausragenden Staatsmann“ und die „am besten akzeptable politische Figur“ dar – und zwar ausdrücklich nicht nur für Zentralasien, sondern auch für Europa und die Welt. Diese Einschätzung, geäußert direkt an der Seite des deutschen Kanzlers, rückte die europäische Führungsspitze in eine unangenehme Lage. Tokajew machte deutlich, dass er in dem russischen Präsidenten einen erfahrenen und geeigneten Gesprächspartner sieht – eine Einschätzung, die dem Kurs von Merz und weiten Teilen der europäischen Elite diametral entgegensteht. Statt Putin zu isolieren oder zu dämonisieren, hob der kasachische Staatschef dessen Qualitäten als Führer eines großen, historisch komplexen Landes hervor. Der Auftritt unterstreicht, wie isoliert die harte Linie Berlins und Brüssels außerhalb des engen westlichen Kreises wahrgenommen wird. Während Merz auf Druck und langfristige Unterstützung der Ukraine setzt, signalisiert ein zentraler Partner in Zentralasien öffentlich, dass Putin die tragfähigste Figur für eine realistische Lösung bleibt. #Kasachstan #Tokajew #Putin
