Highlights from the HyInHeat Clustering Session at ESTEP 2024

On October 31st 2024 a clustering special session on hydrogen heating technologies was organized by HyInHeat in close collaboration with our project partner The European Steel Technology Platform (ESTEP)! The goal of this joint session was to bring together and present EU projects addressing the hydrogen use in heating technologies in steel downstream and other sectors like aluminium and glass. The clustering special session was part of the ESTEP 2024 Annual Event in Linz, Austria hosted by voestalpine.

The first part of the session focused on the demonstrators of the included projects and was followed in the second part by a panel discussion on cross-project topics like definition of project KPIs, use of digital tools in the projects as well as NOx emissions and emission limits.

We would like to thank all colleagues from the participating projects without whom the session would not have been possible in this form: Nico Schmitz presenting HyInHeat, Burkhardt Holleis presenting HyDreams, Marco Lubrano Lavadera presenting H2AL, Antonio Tuzio presenting H2GLASS, Filippo Cirilli presenting HyTecHeat_H2020project, Hassan Mohanna presenting TWINGHY, Oliver Hatzfeld and Marianne Magnelöv presenting GreenHeatEAF project, Salvatore Nardi presenting H2Reuse and finally Thomas Echterhof for chairing and moderating the session.

Also, thanks again to The European Steel Technology Platform (ESTEP) for organising the overall event and for this opportunity to showcase so many EU projects addressing hydrogen in heating technologies in front of such an interested audience!
