Thomas Echterhof, of the RWTH Aachen University, Department for Industrial Furnaces and Heat Engineering (IOB), is our project coordinator. In the previous video, Thomas explained that we have already reached a significant milestone. In the video below, we discuss the next steps towards decarbonization. #decarbonization #HydrogenFuel #DecarbonizedFuture #FossilFuels

We are excited to display our Star Burst and Biomass Nanofiber(BiNFi-s) at the International Material Science and Engineering Congress - MSE2024, starting today✨ When you need dispersion and emulsification stability, Star Burst and SUGINO’s line of Biomass Nanofibers is your best option for material processing. Check out how Star Burst performed versus an agitator and a traditional homogenizer when using our cellulose nanofiber slurry. The advantages of our BiNFi-s also include high strength, low thermal expansion, lightweight, and a high aspect ratio. Visit our booth Category 3 booth15, and discover our technology!

NEW in THA Focus: The #cement industry is a major contributor to global CO2 emissions, but there's a bright future on the horizon thanks to concentrated solar thermal energy (CST). This innovative technology uses the sun's heat to calcine minerals, a crucial step in cement production. At the DLR Institut für Future Fuels, Dr. Stefania Tescari, Dr. Martin Roeb, Juan Pablo Rincon Duarte, and Dr. Gkiokchan Moumin are pushing the boundaries in solar calcination research - exploring different reactor designs, from directly irradiated rotary kilns to vortex concepts, and figuring out ways to capture the CO2 released during the process. Beyond cement, this could potentially revolutionize the production of other materials like alumina and kaolin, which are used in everything from nanofilters to zeolites.

💡 Did you know that the non-steel metallic distribution gas grid materials cover 49.406 km of the total length of the European gas grid with 34% being made from ductile cast iron and 41% of grey cast iron? 🔬 The information derives from CANDHy preliminary results and in this context our project partner Prof. Marina Cabrini from the University of Bergamo participated in the European Corrosion Congress – EUROCORR 2024 making a short presentation focusing on the subject of hydrogen diffusion and embrittlement of cast iron. 🌐This year’s #EUROCORR2024 under the theme “A step forward in societal awareness of material degradation issues” took place in Paris in early September bringing together corrosion experts from universities, research associations and the industry to address all aspects of corrosion science, technology, and engineering.

👏🏼That's a fascinating statistic! The prevalence of cast iron in European gas grids highlights the importance of understanding hydrogen diffusion and embrittlement in these materials. 👆🏼The focus on societal awareness of material degradation issues is crucial. Corrosion can have significant economic and safety implications, and it's essential that we continue to research and develop solutions to mitigate its effects. 🙌🏽We're proud to be part of the CANDHy project and to support the valuable work of researchers like Prof. Cabrini.

Did you think decarbonation was only about hydrogen and "green electricity" ? Think again. In our future circular economy steel will be the preferred material for many applications. Apart from re-using scrap by means of "low carbon" electricity in an electric arc furnace and/or making “green steel” from iron ores via “green hydrogen”, the sustainability of the whole steel production can be - and must be - further improved by innovations in downstream operations.   Through process simplification, it is possible to make very significant and real reductions in product footprint, and imagine advanced products within the constraints of existing production lines.   Based on innovative use of martensite and bainite combinations in steels, the European Research Executive Agency (REA) #RFCS funded project MARTBAIN aimed to achieve significant process simplifications in two areas :  - 3rd generation high formability / high strength steel - steel for large bearings operating in contaminated environments.   This week was the final meeting of the European funded project RFCS MARTBAIN. In spite of COVID (project start 2020) and a difficult financial situation for the coordinator (ASCOMETAL), impressive results were achieved with CENIM, Schaeffler, Tata Steel and Delft University of Technology. :  - through physical modelling and experimental work, significant progress in the understanding of the role of martensite on bainite nucleation were made - development of high formability high strength steels with a new process route to avoid the need for massive investment and use existing production installations  - development of a new high carbon steel with a specific heat-treatment to achieve similar performances as those obtained on carburized bearings, with a 20 to 40% reduction in the product carbon footprint.   Many thanks to the team Maria J.
