SUMMARY:Developing and enabling H2 burner utilization to produce liquid steel in EAF
DESCRIPTION:The steel production trough electric arc furnace (EAF) plays an increasingly important role in modern steelworks concepts. Today the electric arc furnace steel of the overall steel production in the EU-27 is just over 40 % (59 Mtons/year).
The share of the global steel production by EAF route is expected to increase due to its more flexibility, less investment and lower environmental impact respects to the BF-BOF steel production route.
Moreover, on the ongoing projects, related to green steel production by Direct Reduction, Integration (DRI) of renewable electricity and hydrogen production (as SALCOS and HYBRIT projects) will provide many opportunities to increase the EAF steel production route but in order to catch these opportunities a strategy for decarbonization and thus sustainability for EAF steel production must be implemented.

In this frame the main objective of DevH2forEAF, project founded by RFCS, is to set up and test a EAF burner fed with hydrogen to replace natural gas.
This project is coordinated by: RINA Consulting – Centro Sviluppo Materiali SPA (RINA-CSM) and the partners are: 
1)	Rheinisch-Westfaelische Technische Hochschule Aachen (RWTH);
2)	Compania Espanola de Laminacion Sl (CELSA);
3)	Ferriere Nord SPA (FeNo);
4)	 Nippon Gases Industrial SRL (NG Ind.)
5)	SMS group SPA (SMS)
6)	AFV Acciaierie Beltrame SPA (AFV Beltrame)

This project provides a comprehensive analysis of H2 hydrogen burner in EAF through the main activities:
1)	Design and realization of EAF burners, able to work with NG/H2 mixture, up to 100% hydrogen (SMS)
2)	Design and realization of H2 pipeline from the tube trailer to EAF in safety conditions (NG Ind.)
3)	Analysis the performance of hydrogen burner in replacement of NG through experimental trials at lab and pilot scale (RWTH and CSM) an at two industrial sites (FeNo and CELSA).

The final results of this project will represent a milestone for the utilization of H2 in steelmaking and the first key step for the decarbonization of the steel industry.
