Hydrogen for industrial decarbonisation
16 September 2025

Dr Hichem Hakka will be a guest speaker at the upcoming ALFED Day.
Presentation:
This presentation will share practical insights from hydrogen (H₂) trials across metals and foundation industries, drawing on MPI’s extensive pilot-scale facilities and industrial collaborations. It will cover:
• Experiences with hydrogen combustion and integration into high-temperature furnaces.
• Impacts on refractories, oxidation, and scale formation during processing.
• Lessons learned from pilot demonstrations in steelmaking, cement, and related foundation industries.
• Broader opportunities and challenges for scaling hydrogen as a low-carbon fuel in heavy industry.
The session will highlight both technical outcomes and strategic pathways to accelerate hydrogen adoption while managing risks, costs, and industrial performance.
