As part of the H2frit project, the first pilot test of a hydrogen-powered kiln for ceramic frit production is now underway at the Esmalglass-Itaca facility in Villareal.
The test phase is underway for using a blend of green hydrogen and natural gas at the H2 Factory to verify that the technical characteristics and quality of the slabs remain unchanged.
Keramischer OFENBAU is charting a course towards the hydrogen-powered kiln of the future. Called EnerViT H2 ready, the system brings immediate energy savings and emission reductions while preparing for the future transition to 100% green hydrogen.
On Wednesday 28 September, the technology conference at Tecna 2022 in Rimini will explore various aspects of the ecological transition in the ceramic industry. See the programme and book your seat.
Following an initial major breakthrough with hydrogen-ready thermal machines, about a year ago SITI-B&T launched a research project to develop kilns powered by a high-performance blend of traditional fuels and hydrogen.
Grupo Pamesa reported consolidated revenues of €1,220 million in 2021, a 56% increase on 2020. This included 43% growth in the ceramic segment to €881.7 million. Fernando Roig confirms that the group will be investing a further €95 million this year.
The world’s first ceramic factory powered by green hydrogen obtained from solar energy will be built in Italy by Iris Ceramica Group with the support of energy infrastructure company Snam by the end of 2022.
