Novelis Inc., a leading provider of sustainable aluminium solutions, conducted successful tests at its Latchford plant in Warrington, UK, where hydrogen was used to power a recycling furnace. The initiative, part of the UK government's decarbonisation programme, was a collaboration with Progressive Energy to explore renewable energy sources like hydrogen. By replacing natural gas with hydrogen, CO2e emissions could be reduced by up to 90%. The project involved installing new burners, regenerators, and furnace lining material to facilitate this transition. Through blending different percentages of hydrogen with natural gas and remelting scrap aluminium alloy, the project assessed the impact on infrastructure, equipment, and environmental emissions. Novelis aims to transform the Latchford site into a model for high-recycled content and decarbonised aluminium production, aligning with their vision for sustainable practices in the industry. The project is part of the UK government's Industrial Fuel Switching Competition programme and is supported by the broader regional HyNet project. Novelis has received a £4.6 million grant for this initiative and has been actively involved in developing the regional infrastructure for hydrogen use. Additionally, the company is conducting studies for using hydrogen as a direct replacement for natural gas in its production plants, showcasing a forward-looking approach to energy efficiency and carbon reduction.
