H2 in the brick industry
The use of hydrogen sulfide or its admixture, if possible without the costly reinstallation of complete kiln systems, has not yet been introduced in the brick industry. Knowledge about the current…
KaLiBer
The trend in the use of hydrogen in PEM fuel cells is increasingly towards larger applications. In addition to heavy-duty transport (long-distance trucks and buses), the fuel cell is also interesting…
H2-Substitution II
The cooperation project investigates the effects of firing H2-rich gas mixtures on the products of metallurgical processes. In addition, possible effects of H2 admixture on fittings and pipe materials…
Carbon2Chem: Overall project
The Carbon2Chem initiative aims to utilize metallurgical gases from steel production as a raw material for chemical products. In addition to CO₂, these gases also contain carbon monoxide (CO),…
COSIMa
The aim of the project is to prepare for the world's first climate-neutral glass production in 2030. Glass production requires temperatures of more than 1,500 degrees Celsius, which until now have…
HyNRGCube - Development, implementation and testing of a stationary hydrogen fuel cell system
Green hydropower will be an energy source with a derived availability, and highly efficient solutions must be used for its reconversion to electricity. For the overall operation, economically viable…
HyGlass - Hydrogen use in the glass industry
Together with the Gas and Heat Institute Essen eV, BV Glas is exploring the possibility of using hydrogen in the glass industry.
H2steel
The H2Stahl real-world laboratory aims at a far-reaching conversion of the steel industry to hydrogen technologies. In this way, CO2 emissions can be reduced in Duisburg, the largest European steel…
H2BF
The first step on the way to steel takes place in the blast furnace. There, oxygen is removed from the iron ore, traditionally with the help of carbon. Among other things, carbon dioxide in the form…
FlexLadleHeat - Flexible use of hydrogen and ammonia in ladle fires in the steel industry
The aim of the FlexLadleHeat project is to develop a fuel-flexible oxyfuel ladle heating system for preheating and drying ladles in the steel industry. The ladle furnace system is to be capable of…
R2R-CCM
The aim of the R2R-CCM project is to reduce the costs of PEM fuel cells by developing a new, mass-market and more cost-effective production process. The core of the project is the so-called Catalyst…
4FH2Max
In stationary gas turbines, the transition to CO2-free energy generation can be made in steps. Here, the fuel composition is successively shifted from pure natural gas towards hydrogen. The burners in…
H2-HotRoll
The aim of the project is to reduce or avoid CO2 emissions in the steel industry through the use of hydrogen in continuously operated thermal process plants, using reheating furnaces as an example.…
H2BCTurbo - Effect of H2 combustion on the durability of thermal insulation layers in the hot gas section of gas turbines
The combustion of hydrogen in a gas turbine has been identified as a sustainable solution for reducing CO2 emissions. However, the combustion of pure hydrogen leads to a significant increase in the…
