Project
Completed

Sidenor conducted the first tests of burning green hydrogen in ladle heating, a key process in steel production, at its Basur plant. The conventional burner was replaced with a hydrogen-based oxy-fuel burner, completing a full ladle heating cycle at required operating temperatures. This is part of the IS2H4C project under the Horizon Europe program, aiming to decarbonize steel production processes
