Fives and Lhyfe Collaborate for Decarbonisation: A Step Forward in Industrial Hydrogen Integration
Key Ideas
  • Lhyfe and Fives sign an MoU to advance the use of hydrogen in process industries without equipment modification.
  • The collaboration targets metal, glass, and cement industries, focusing on decarbonisation from hydrogen production to combustion.
  • Hydrogen combustion offers significant carbon footprint reduction, with examples like a secondary aluminium furnace cutting over 4,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually.
  • Fives introduces the Hy-Ductflam™, a 100% hydrogen duct burner, supporting decarbonisation efforts in heating and drying processes.
French companies Lhyfe and Fives have joined forces in a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to propel the utilization of hydrogen in process industries while avoiding the need for equipment modifications. This collaboration aims to provide a complete decarbonised solution for industry, specifically targeting metal, glass, and cement sectors, along with selected industrial heating processes in Europe and North America. The CEO of Lhyfe, Matthieu Guesné, emphasized the readiness of hydrogen solutions in the market, highlighting the pivotal moment in industrial combustion and decarbonisation. Hydrogen combustion, known for emitting no CO2, is identified as a promising avenue for reducing industrial processes' carbon footprint. Fives rolled out the Hy-Ductflam™ in August 2023, a 100% hydrogen duct burner that can seamlessly transition from natural gas to hydrogen without equipment adjustments. This innovation is a significant step towards environmental sustainability, with potential to revolutionize heating and drying processes. The article also mentions Fives' commitment to global environmental impact reduction through the development of combustion systems that cater to customers worldwide. As a positive development in the realm of industrial hydrogen integration, this collaboration showcases the tangible benefits of adopting hydrogen for decarbonisation.
