Sarralle delivers hydrogen combustion at Spanish steel plant | Spain Gas News

Spain-based engineering firm Sarralle has completed a green hydrogen combustion system at ArcelorMittal’s Olaberria plant, which is one of Europe’s most advanced steel production facilities. The project is one of the first instances of green hydrogen and oxy-combustion technologies being used in steelmaking. The system enables the reheating furnace in the rolling mill to operate using 100% green hydrogen instead of natural gas, fully eliminating CO₂ emissions from the combustion process. … to continue reading this article and more, please login, register for free, or consider subscribing to gasworld You’ve reached your weekly limit to access free articles!

Green steel may be only 2.5% of market by 2035 | Hydrogen

Hydrogen-based green steel output could reach 46 million tonnes by 2035, according to a new report from technology research firm IDTechEx. The report highlights how regulation, corporate climate targets, and pressure from sectors like automotive and construction are driving investment in low-carbon steelmaking. However, high hydrogen costs, infrastructure gaps and policy uncertainty risk slowing progress – and 46 million tonnes is only about 2.5% of annual steel production. Steel accounts for around 7% to 9% of global CO2 emissions and it is one of the hardest sectors to decarbonise, with high temperatures involved. In Europe, policies such as the Emissions Trading System (ETS) and the upcoming Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), along with over €2bn ($2.2bn) in public funding, are accelerating green steel initiatives. Other countries are taking a mix of approaches. The US offers… Read More »Green steel may be only 2.5% of market by 2035 | Hydrogen
