The Swedish Steel Prize is awarded for innovative designs in high strength steels. The aim of the prize is to inspire and disseminate knowledge about high strength steels and the possibilities they provide to develop lighter, safer and more environmentally-friendly products.

Cortus has succeeded for the first time, in a 500 kW gasification plant, to produce synthesis gas from biomass without traces of hydrocarbons.
It has previously not been possible to produce completely pure biogas from biomass without generating impurities of hydrocarbons. This has been a problem for both producers and users of biogas.

It all began at a design exhibition in Fagersta during the summer of 2010. Johan Karlsson from the Formens Hus in Hällefors was there. He had previously thought about an emergency building made of cardboard. Meanwhile, Anette Eriksson, head of Tillväxtgruppen in Fagersta was also there. “What if you could do something great with tubes developed at the Roll Forming Center?” said Annette.
