Objective
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.
Impact
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.
We have an existing preliminary agenda where the newest results from industry and academia will be presented. Some highlights:
- Hydrogen pre-reduction at TiZir by Stephen Lobo from TiZir
- Hydrogen in silicon production at Elkem by Aasgeir Valderhaug from Elkem
- Use of Hydrogen in steel production by LKAB
- Hydrogen pre-reduction of Mn by Merete Tangstad from NTNU
- Hydrogen reduction of Bauxite in large scale rotary furnace by Casper van der Eijk from SINTEF
- Hydrogen-plasma by Halvor Dalaker from SINTEF
The event will take place the 15th of February 9:00-16:00
Online and at Britannia in Trondheim
