Firing with natural gas or hydrogen: Novel high-temperature furnace paves the way for climate-neutral firing processes

As industry moves toward a climate-neutral economy, drastic reduction of CO₂ emissions is essential. This is a particular challenge for companies with large-scale firing processes, such as those in ceramics and metalworking. Research-ers at Fraunhofer IKTS in Arnstadt near Erfurt have developed a breakthrough solution: a novel hydrogen-powered high-temperature furnace that enables CO₂-free firing.
