Innovative Trial for Decarbonizing Steel Production with Hydrogen
Key Ideas
  • Snam, TenarisDalmine, and Tenova are collaborating on a six-month trial to produce steel products using hydrogen in Dalmine, Italy.
  • Snam is providing an electrolysis system to produce hydrogen onsite, which will be used by TenarisDalmine to fuel a burner for steel production.
  • The trial aims to evaluate the reliability of hydrogen as a source for decarbonizing steel production, aligning with Snam's efforts to guide industries towards decarbonization.
  • This collaboration showcases a proactive approach towards sustainable steel production and highlights the potential of hydrogen in reducing carbon emissions in the metallurgical industry.
In an innovative collaboration, Snam, TenarisDalmine, and Tenova have initiated a trial in Dalmine, northern Italy, to produce steel products using hydrogen. The trial, spanning six months, focuses on evaluating the reliability of hydrogen as a source in decarbonizing steel production processes. Snam will deploy an alkaline electrolysis system at the TenarisDalmine plant to produce hydrogen onsite. This hydrogen will then be utilized to fuel a specialized burner developed by Tenova for the production of hot rolled seamless pipes by Tenaris. The initiative signifies a step towards sustainable steel production, emphasizing the importance of transitioning towards greener solutions in the metallurgical industry. It forms part of Snam's broader strategy to assist industrial players in navigating their decarbonization journey. By exploring the potential of hydrogen in steel manufacturing, this trial demonstrates a positive outlook towards leveraging innovative approaches to reduce carbon emissions and promote environmental sustainability within the steel sector.
