Swiss Steel Group announced the results of its tests to replace natural gas with pure hydrogen in steel furnaces. This initiative is part of the financial EU project Hydreams, the purpose of which is to reduce carbon emissions by 4.5 million tons by 2032 and accelerate the transition of steel industry to environmentally friendly technologies.
Experienced tests confirm the absence of loss qualities
The company tests various systems of stoves and burners, analyzing the properties of materials and developing practical concepts for industrial use.
in pilot tests with the participation of 13 different steel seals Swiss Steel confirmed that hydrogen does not have a negative effect on the structure or composition of the final products. This result emphasizes the potential of hydrogen as a safe, effective and high-quality source of energy for the production of steel.
The following steps: Industrial demonstrations
after these reassuring Swiss Steel pilot tests plan to scale to industrial demonstrations. The goal is to prove that hydrogen is a key element of the decarbonization of the steel industry.
