A research project funded by a €1.8 million grant from the European Union's Research Fund for Coal and Steel is aiming to advance ironmaking technology by injecting hydrogen directly into blast furnaces. This initiative, led by Primetals Technologies, seeks to utilize the Sequence Impulse Process (SIP) technology to reduce CO2 emissions in the steel industry. With the sector accounting for 7-10% of global CO2 emissions, there is a pressing need for decarbonization. The project targets a 20% reduction in emissions through hydrogen-based reduction. Despite challenges, such as implementation via tuyeres, the use of SIP technology shows promise, with successful trials at thyssenkrupp Steel Europe's site in Germany. The consortium, consisting of key industry players and research institutes, plans to scale up this technology for industrial use by 2028. The initiative is part of the EU's RFCS program, which supports clean steelmaking projects with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. Primetals Technologies, known for its environmental innovations, is actively involved in projects like this, emphasizing the importance of transitioning towards environmentally friendly solutions in the steel industry.
