As environmental concerns grow, the combustion technology sector is prioritizing the reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. Graham Barker of Riello Burners UK discusses the industry's shift towards low-NOx burners and the integration of alternative fuels like biofuels and hydrogen to address environmental impacts. The Combustion Research Centre (CRC) in Italy is at the forefront of this innovation, focusing on hydrogen-compatible burners to offer cleaner combustion alternatives. Moreover, Barker emphasizes the importance of meeting stringent emissions regulations globally, highlighting the role of testing facilities like Riello's CRC in ensuring burner efficiency and environmental compliance. Despite challenges such as high costs, efforts in research and development are underway to lower expenses associated with advanced combustion systems. Additionally, the industry is investing in workforce development through training programs like the Riello Training Academy to equip engineers with the skills needed for managing new combustion technologies. Barker stresses the role of innovation in creating a sustainable future, emphasizing the sector's commitment to R&D, cost reduction, and emissions compliance. Through ongoing investment and adherence to global standards, the Riello CRC remains crucial in advancing the adoption of cleaner, more efficient burner technologies.
