Mineral Industries and Green Hydrogen

This three hour course will look at the potential for Hydrogen to participate in the decarbonation of the Cement, Lime, Glass, P&P, mineral industries. During the session we will give an overview of the specifics of these industries and also compare them to the established steel and power industries. We will also deep- dive into the fundamentals of exactly where we can use hydrogen within the industry and analysis the best source of hydrogen.


Secure your place

This course will be delivered on the 16 November 2021 over three hours.

2PM CET - 5PM CET.


This course includes:

  • The session recordings & any course materials covered during the course

  • Interactive format with dedicated Q&A sections with the trainer

  • Flexible access on any device

  • A certificate of attendance after full completion of the course


Agenda

Attend live or watch the recordings. Each session includes dedicated Q&A sections throughout.

Session 1:

Introduction: The specific of these industries, also compared to the steel and power industries

  • CO2 emissions is only in part coming from the combustion of fuels,

  • There is waste heat (flue gas) available


Session 2:

Where could Hydrogen be used in these industries?

  • As a fuel

    • Burners

    • Impact on processes

    • 100% hydrogen or as a fuel mix

  • For the process

  • For mobility

    • Trucks

    • Machineries

  • For energy storage

    • In relation with WHR for self-generation of electricity

    • Stationary fuel cells, alternative to diesel back-up electricity generation

  • For CO2 utilization

  • Methanation,

    • Biological

    • Catalytic


Session 3:

What would be the best source of Hydrogen?

  • Electrolyzers:

    • Electrolyzers provide not only hydrogen but also oxygen

    • Benefits of oxygen for combustion

    • What type of electrolyzers would better fit those industries

  • From waste/biomass with pyro-gasification

    • Benefits of syngas, flexibility in H2 concentration

  • From methane pyrolysis?

    • Is there any value/benefit?


Session 4:

Hydrogen in relation to Ammonia, Methanol


Session 5:

Review of the technologies, their TRL, their fit with the specific industries


Session 6:

Review of the main solution providers


Session 7:

Review of current and announced projects.


Session 8:

Sector coupling and clusters principles

  • With the electrical grid

  • With other industries, especially petro-chemical

  • Impact on plant location


Session 9:

At what moment could the use of hydrogen make sense?

  • Sensitivity analysis, cost of electricity, hydrogen, CO2


Session 10:

Financing of hydrogen-based projects for those industries
