Hydrogen as a fuel for industrial heating processes

18 May 2021

Energy-intensive industrial production processes, for example in the glass, food and ceramic sectors, have a major challenge to decarbonise existing heating processes. A fast and sustainable route to reduce the carbon intensity of these processes is to replace natural gas with hydrogen. However, the technology for this is not yet available.

In this presentation, the technical challenges will be discussed when adding hydrogen to natural gas with regard to burner performance. Furthermore, under the leadership of Celsian and DNV GL, an international industry consortium has been set up with the aim of developing combustion technology to prepare for a gradual transition from natural gas to hydrogen. This research program provides important building blocks for the roll-out of the sustainable hydrogen value chain. In the presentation the aim of this research program and high-level preliminary results will be discussed.

The session will be hosted by Sander Gersen (DNV), project leader of the TKI project “Hydrogen as a fuel for heating processes”
