End of the Second Project Period: From development to Industrial Deployment
As we close the second phase of TWINGHY, we would like to highlight two technical tasks that have now been completed and that are particularly relevant for the next stage
Digital TWINs for Green Hydrogen transition in steel industry
About
#TWINGHY aims to introduce hydrogen as a fuel to replace natural gas in the reheating furnaces of the steel sector.
The project will develop a Digital Twin to control the behaviour of the furnaces and optimize the operations.
Period of time
2023-2027
Total budget 8575321€
EU contribution:
4287661€
9 Partners
Coordinator
Compañía Española de Laminación (Celsa)
Funding from the European Union’s RFCS Big Ticket programme under Grant Agreement Nº 101099158.
Objectives
The main objective of the TWINGHY project is the demonstration of an advanced heat transfer process in the reheating furnaces of the steel sector, by the utilization of hybrid burners in order to increase the introduction of hydrogen for direct combustion with oxygen, while controlling the process with a Digital Twin of the furnace.
