Hydrogen and Value-Added-Carbon production through Waste Heat Recovery: Hy-Value Recovery

该合作项目将开发、建造和运营一个行业规模的演示器，即 Torstran 生产演示器。它将利用钢铁和玻璃制造中的废热来展示将可再生/废弃甲烷转化为氢气，用作钢铁和玻璃制造中的工艺化学品的能力。 Torstran 生产演示机还生产高价值碳产品 Torstran。 Torstran 用作电动汽车 (EV) 复合结构中的电磁屏蔽 (EMI) 组件，并用作锂离子电池添加剂，进一步促进低碳经济。 Torstran 还具有用于导电涂料和空气过滤的潜力。该项目的成功交付将为英国工业实现其环境目标做出重大贡献。这将通过减少基础工业（最初是钢铁和玻璃制造）的碳足迹、用接近零二氧化碳的氢气取代“灰色”氢气工艺气体（用作还原气氛）以及促进英国电动汽车制造业的发展来实现。该项目将立即在圣海伦斯地区创造高价值就业机会，随着电动汽车和其他行业需求的增加，预计就业机会将大幅增长。

This collaborative project will develop, build and operate an industry scale demonstrator, the Torstran Production Demonstrator. It will use waste heat from steel and glass manufacturing to demonstrate the ability to convert renewable/waste methane into hydrogen for use as a process chemical in steel and glass manufacturing. The Torstran Production Demonstrator also produces a high value carbon product Torstran. Torstran is used as an Electro Magnetic Shielding (EMI) component in electric vehicle (EV) composite structures, and as a Li-ion battery additive further contributing to the low carbon economy. Torstran also has potential for use in conductive coatings and air filtration.Successful delivery of this project will contribute significantly to allowing the UK industry to achieve its environmental targets. This will be achieved by reducing the carbon footprint of the foundation industries (initially steel and glass making), replacing 'grey' hydrogen process gas (used as a reducing atmosphere) with near-zero CO2 hydrogen and contributing to the development of electric vehicle manufacturing in the UK.The project will immediately create high value jobs in the St Helens region with significant job growth anticipated as demand from the electric vehicle and other sectors increases.
