- Lhyfe produces green hydrogen via water electrolysis powered by renewable energy.
- Fives provides optimized solutions for using hydrogen in industrial combustion.
- The partnership targets metals, glass, and cement industries in Europe and North America.
- A secondary aluminum furnace using hydrogen can reduce annual CO2 emissions by over 4,000 tonnes.
Partnership for Decarbonization
Lhyfe, a pioneer in green hydrogen production, and Fives, a leader in industrial combustion, have signed a memorandum of understanding to offer a comprehensive decarbonized solution for industry. This collaboration aims to accelerate the energy transition by integrating hydrogen into industrial processes without requiring extensive equipment modifications.
Hydrogen Combustion Benefits
The use of hydrogen, which emits no CO2 during combustion, is emerging as a promising method to reduce the carbon footprint of industrial processes. For instance, a secondary aluminum furnace currently producing 120 tonnes per day with natural gas could cut its annual CO2 emissions by over 4,000 tonnes by switching to hydrogen.
Target Industries
Lhyfe and Fives will primarily focus on the metals, glass, and cement industries, as well as selected industrial heating processes and applications in Europe and North America. This strategic focus leverages their expertise to make significant impacts in these sectors.
Company Expertise
Lhyfe produces green hydrogen through water electrolysis powered by renewable energy, with its first site operational since 2021 and additional sites inaugurated in 2023. Fives, with over 100 years of experience in industrial combustion and 50 years in hydrogen technology, offers a wide range of hydrogen burners under its ITAS, North American, and Pillard® brands.
