Italy Launches First Hydrogen Trial at Steel Plant in Collaboration with Leading Energy Companies
Key Ideas
  • Italy conducted its first hydrogen trial at a steel plant in Dalmine, aiming to assess the use of hydrogen in hard-to-abate sectors for decarbonization.
  • Snam, TenarisDalmine, and Tenova collaborated to test hydrogen usage in steel processing, focusing on reducing CO2 emissions and enhancing safety measures.
  • The project showcases the potential of hydrogen in industrial applications, with Snam's 'Hydrogen as a Service' model facilitating the adoption of decarbonized hydrogen.
  • The initiative by Techint Group companies aligns with the transition towards green hydrogen, emphasizing the importance of developing sustainable solutions for challenging industrial sectors.
Italy initiated its first trial implementing hydrogen technology at a steel plant in Dalmine as a collaborative effort between Snam, TenarisDalmine, and Tenova. The six-month trial aims to evaluate the effectiveness of using hydrogen in the steel industry and other hard-to-abate sectors for decarbonization purposes. By utilizing on-site produced hydrogen to power a newly developed burner in a reheating furnace, the project seeks to reduce CO2 emissions and establish safety protocols for future hydrogen usage in industrial manufacturing. Snam's 'Hydrogen as a Service' model plays a significant role in facilitating the deployment of decarbonized hydrogen in industrial plants, showcasing the company's commitment to guiding the energy sector towards sustainability. This trial not only demonstrates the potential of hydrogen in reducing emissions but also highlights the expertise of the Techint Group companies in driving the transition towards green hydrogen. Overall, the collaboration emphasizes the importance of developing sustainable solutions and technologies to address the challenges of decarbonizing industrial sectors in Italy and beyond.
