After disclosing what will happen with hydrogen cars in the United States, Sweden succeeds in breaking a natural law. It has converted hydrogen into something unheard of. It should be noted that hydrogen is the most common chemical element of the universe. We can mainly find it in water and other organic connections.
It is a very light colorless gas that can be used as a clean energy source. Contrary to what happens with fossil fuels (such as coal or natural gas that releases CO2 while burning), hydrogen only generates water as a by -product when used as fuel.
It will therefore be an attractive alternative to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the industry and to contribute to the fight against climate change. In this context, Sweden He has succeeded in having history transformed into something unthinkable.
This Sweden company shows what is never seen with hydrogen
He Swedish Hybrit project It reaches the production of iron and steel on an industrial scale fed by hydrogen. This initiative has demonstrated the results of 6 years of research in a final report that will be sent to the Sweden Energy Agency. This analysis states that reduced iron has been generated directly with the process Hybrit It shows higher functions that compare with iron made from fossil fuels.
Hybrit He has asked and received different patents based on his optimum results. Now the project goes further to a new phase in which the industrial scale process will be implemented. Hybrit It is a collaboration between the steel company SSABThe Mine Company Lkab and the energy Waterfalllaunched to considerably transform the iron and steel industry.
The aim of the proposal is to virtually exclude carbon dioxide emissions in the steel industry, to replace coal and cola when generating iron by fossil free hydrogen and electricity. The transition to technology is expected Hybrit Reduce the total emission of carbon dioxide from Sweden by more than 100%.
The results that the aforementioned study is considering between 2018 and 2024, with a view to climbing technical solutions from the industrial-scale laboratory, creating an industrial procedure practice and an integrated value chain for iron and steel production based on steel is achieved based of steel based on steel based on steel based on H.
Sweden again finds what we thought of iron and hydrogen: he achieves something that seemed impossible
The pilot phase revealed some important results, such as creating a new technology on hydrogen-based technology for the efficient iron and steel production of fossils, a new iron product (sponsor) with better properties, development of a new industrial process free of fossils and competing And a successful long -term operation of alkalinely eligible for the production and storage of H, among other things.
These discoveries derived from the pilot phase prepare the way to determine the process Hybrit on an industrial scale. Hybrit -Development AB It will continue with research and developments. The pilot project to save fossils for free Svartöberget A Luleå It will have continuity until 2026.
The project Hybrit has obtained financing from the EU Innovation Fund and Industriaklivet. It is also part of the European initiative PCEI Hy2USE (Hydrogen). In short, Hybrit It is an initiative of Sweden Pioneer who aims to implement a substantial change in steel production with the help of hydrogen instead of cola for the reduction of iron ore.
With this adjustment, the by -product will not be CO2, but water vapor, and it will be a much more compassionate alternative with the environment. Sweden has reinvented the way we saw steel and hydrogen with the project Hybrit. A touch of hope that is completely against the disappointment of the world that stalks hydrogen.
