Primetals Technologies and the Steel Authority of India Ltd. (SAIL) Bokaro Steel Plant have partnered to engineer a hydrogen gas injection system for a blast furnace at the facility in Bokaro Steel City, Jharkhand.
The project focuses on integrating hydrogen gas injection technology at the blast furnace tuyere level. Primetals Technologies said it will engineer the hydrogen injection system where hydrogen gas will partially replace conventional fuels.
It is estimated the approach will reduce CO2 emissions and improve blast furnace permeability and process efficiency.
The companies said the initiative’s aim is to achieve emission reductions and support SAIL’s environmental goals. The project is funded by the Indian government under a carbon reduction scheme.
