Under this Contract, Pyro Green-Gas will provide supplementary engineering improvements to the dry coke oven gas desulfurization and hydrogen production process already under contract. Pyro Green-Gas will supply filters that will further purify the remaining gas, removing condensed hydrocarbons, naphthalene and dust from the coke oven gas infrastructure. This will allow the purified gas to be used as a fuel for galvanizing and annealing furnaces in steel processing.

https://stockhouse.com/news/press-releases/2022/11/10/pyrogenesis-announces-successful-conversion-of-methane-into-hydrogen-turquoise BENGALURU, April 24 (Reuters) - Indian steel maker Tata Steel Ltd (TISC.NS) on Monday said it initiated trial for injecting hydrogen gas at its blast furnace in the company's flagship plant, in a move to reduce metallurgical coke usage and cut carbon emissions. The company commenced the trial injection at the plant in the eastern city of Jamshedpur, using 40% of the injection systems on Sunday, Tata Steel said in a statement. "This is the first time in the world that such a large quantity of hydrogen gas is being continuously injected in a blast furnace," the company, which aims to become net zero by 2045, said. The trial, expected to continue for four to five days on a continuous basis, has the potential to reduce coke rate by 10%, translating into a 7% to 10% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions per ton of crude steel produced, it added. The trial will provide insights into operating blast furnaces with greener fuel injectants, reducing fossil fuel consumption and subsequent CO2 emissions from the blast furnace, the company said. The move to use hydrogen comes as India has set green hydrogen consumption targets for some industries like steel, in order to generate demand for cleaner fuel in its quest to reach net zero by 2070.
