The metallurgical industry in the EU accounts for 70 million tonnes direct CO₂ emissions annually (2017). Mitigating the CO₂ footprint from the production is essential to ensure further licence to operate in Europe.

Moreover, the industry is highly dependent on imports. Less than 15% of metal input to the European process industry is supplied from domestic extraction.

Additionally, only 31% of the coking coal is sourced in Europe. The latter has been identified as a critical raw material.

The HARARE project address these two issues. Substituting carbon with hydrogen is one of the few ways metal production can become CO₂-emissions free.

Also utilizing raw materials more efficiently, will simultaneously reduce Europe’s dependence on Critical raw materials.

HARARE will demonstrate sustainable pathways to produce non-ferrous metals using hydrogen as an enabler, for removing waste and valourising materials in carbon free processes.
