“Hydrogen application in Steelmaking”

🟦 1) Industries require different levels of heat for their processes, which can be classified as high, medium or low:

– High-temperature heat ≥ 400°C,
– Medium-temperature heat → 100°C ≤ T ≤ 400°C,
– Low-temperature heat ≤ 100°C.

🟦 2) Hydrogen combustion generates high-quality heat (~ 2000°C) that caters to nearly all heavy industrial purposes.

– Iron and steel, chemicals and cement consume over 85% of industrial heat.

– Around 95% of high-temperature heat is currently generated by burning fossil fuels or combustible by-products.
