As the world continues to move forward with ambitious decarbonization targets, the European Union has set goals to cut CO2 emissions by 55% by 2030.
One opportunity to achieve this goal is blending green hydrogen with natural gas as fuel for power generation.
However, there is no siginificant contribution of hydrogen to the electricity generation as of today.
Siemens Energy is leading the way by providing the world's first proof of concept for hydrogen co-firing and hydrogen fireing in gas turbines in combined cycle application. The presentation highlights challenges and possible solutions for the use of porous ceramic protection systems in power plants. Furthermore, we will address alternative applications in the future of the hydrogen and energy industry.

The sustainable change is a need for the future aligned with industrial transformation. For the steel industry the direct reduction process is a well known alternative.
In this paper common and advanced lining materials for gas driven DRI shaft furnaces are discussed. Especially by using different gases such as hydrogen, methane, carbon monoxide and water vapour and mixtures of these gases as attacking agent. Results obtained under different pressures up to app. 72000 psi and temperatures up to 2550 F.
In another part the usual wear of lining materials for DRI shaft furnaces will be discussed.
