Hydrogen: An Alternative Fuel
The European commitment to achieving climate neutrality relies heavily on the use of hydrogen as a fuel. Since it is an unlimited resource that can be produced locally in Europe using renewable energy.
The EU has set one of its most notable goals to achieve this carbon neutrality by 2050. As a first step, member states are required to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% compared to 1990 levels by 2030.
H₂ as an alternative to fossil fuels enables the decarbonization of thermal processes that, due to temperatures, associated gases, corrosion, impact on process materials, and scale, cannot be achieved with other electrification technologies.
At Kalfrisa, in our effort to replace fossil fuels with hydrogen, we have achieved 100% hydrogen combustion at industrial scales.
Replacing fossil fuel with hydrogen is not trivial; it requires a thorough prior analysis due to changes in operating conditions that directly affect how heat is transferred to the processed material without being impacted by the fuel switch.
