CO2-neutral hydrogen from biomass
Vienna University Of Technology
From a chemical point of view, the important reactive step in the blast furnace process is the reduction of the iron ore, explains Johannes Schmid, Project Manager at TU Wien’s Institute of Chemical Engineering. The whole process chain, from the production and integration of hydrogen gas from renewable sources to its use in blast furnaces, will require further research in the future. According to our measurements, in principle our production gas is a suitable additional biogenous energy source.

The research project with voestalpine on this subject is therefore an important lighthouse project for our research group.
