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 operating with mixtures of hydrogen-based fuels such as hydrogen and ammonia, as well as natural gas, thereby contributing to a direct reduction in CO2 emissions from the steel industry. The results of the development work will be tested in an industry-oriented environment at the Badische Stahlwerke site and then evaluated.
