Simplify's Take
What believers are saying
- June 2026 Sustainability Report says Scope 1-2 targets were hit five years early.
- March 2025 Porite partnership replaces standard sponge iron with near-zero powder.
- January 2025 Blykalla collaboration opens nuclear SMR materials and qualification revenue.
What critics are saying
- A failed biochar rollout leaves Höganäs exposed to EU carbon costs and stranded reduction assets.
- SMR revenue depends on Blykalla qualification and commercialization timelines, not just technical success.
- If customers demand cheaper powders, sustainability premiums collapse and Höganäs loses differentiation.
What makes Höganäs unique
- Höganäs, founded 1797, is the world leader in chemical and metal powders.
- It operates 500,000-ton annual capacity across powders, atomizing, and alloy development.
- Its re-portfolio and near-zero powders tie performance engineering directly to verified carbon cuts.

PowdrIQ international challenge for students. Höganäs AB has launched PowdrIQ, an international challenge for university students to explore innovative applications for metal powders. Open to undergraduates, master's, and PhD students, the challenge invites participants to identify new uses for metal powders in three key areas: sustainability, performance and efficiency, and market needs. An internal committee will evaluate submissions based on innovation, feasibility, sustainability impact, and industry relevance. Winners will receive cash prizes of €5,000, €2,500, and €1,000, with the first-place winner also earning a study trip to a Höganäs site. The PowdrIQ University Challenge is open to students from around the world, aiming to inspire fresh ideas and drive positive change in various sectors.
Höganäs launches re-Astaloy 85 Mo as first product in new sustainability-focused portfolio.
Metasphere Technology, founded in 2009, atomizes metals to metal powder in a new and ground-breaking reactor, where plasma and centrifugal forces play vital roles. The technology allows melting and atomizing of different sorts of metals, for instance titanium, and many other materials at very high temperatures.
Swedish nuclear tech startup Blykalla is entering a strategic partnership with Swedish manufacturer Höganäs to develop specialized materials and manufacturing processes for Blykalla's small modular reactor (SMR), called the Swedish Advanced Lead-cooled Reactor. Höganäs is the world leader in the market for chemical and metal powders.The partnership spans three key areas: industrialization, qualification, and commercialization. Its main purpose is the production of advanced corrosion-resistant materials needed to ensure the performance and durability of metal components in the SMR.Höganäs will produce corrosion-resistant alloys for cladding critical SEALER components, in particular tubular products. These efforts will involve optimizing laboratory-tested alloys for intended powder application processes, scaling them to industrial production, and meeting the stringent performance and safety standards required for liquid lead environments.“This collaboration with Höganäs is an essential step in securing a strong and resilient value chain for SEALER technology,” said Jacob Stedman, CEO of Blykalla. “With their leading expertise in material development and manufacturing, and their process know-how of metal powder applications, we have found a world-class partner in our alloy development. Blykalla and Höganäs will also work together to ensure the scalability and qualification of these materials for SMR deployment
