Hydrogen combustion equipment for industrial high temperature processes - IDENTIFIED BY INCITE
The main objective is the integration
of hydrogen as fuel for high temperature heating
processes in the energy intensive industries.
While some of the equipment is already
presented as hydrogen-ready, the integration of
hydrogen combustion in heating processes still
needs adoption and redesign of infrastructure,
equipment and the process itself.
About HyInHeat
HyInHeat realizes the implementation of efficient hydrogen combustion systems to decarbonize heating and melting processes of the aluminum and steel sectors, covering almost their complete process chains. To reach this overarching objective within the project, furnace and equipment such as burners or measurement and control technology but also infrastructure is redesigned, modified and implemented in eight demonstrators at technical centers and industrial plants.
