METLEN has joined the H2GLASS consortium as the project's Replicability Demonstrator for the aluminium industry, reinforcing its commitment to advancing innovative technologies that support the decarbonisation of energy-intensive industrial processes.
H2GLASS is a European collaborative initiative dedicated to enabling the use of 100% hydrogen combustion in industrial applications through the development and demonstration of advanced technologies, digital control systems and process optimisation solutions. The project seeks to accelerate the transition towards climate-neutral manufacturing across Europe’s energy-intensive industries.
As one of Europe’s leading integrated aluminium and alumina producers, METLEN will contribute its industrial expertise to evaluate the scalability and transferability of the technologies developed within the project. In this context, Aluminium of Greece will serve as a reference case for assessing the deployment potential of hydrogen-based solutions in high-energy industrial operations.
Working alongside consortium partners, METLEN will support the development and assessment of hydrogen-fuelled combustion technologies, advanced process optimisation methodologies and digital control architectures aimed at reducing industrial emissions while maintaining product quality, operational efficiency and competitiveness. Through this collaboration, the consortium will explore practical pathways for integrating hydrogen into high-temperature industrial processes and advancing the decarbonisation of hard-to-abate sectors.
Through its participation in H2GLASS, METLEN contributes to the development of practical and scalable solutions aligned with Europe’s climate neutrality ambitions, while supporting the transition of energy-intensive industries towards a more sustainable and competitive future.
