HydrogenOne Capital Growth plc, the London-listed fund investing in clean hydrogen for a positive environmental impact, reports that Elcogen AS (Elcogen), a European manufacturer of solid oxide technology, has announced the launch of the Horizon Europe SYRIUS project, with Acciai Speciali Terni Spa, a pioneer in Europe’s stainless-steel sector.
The SYRIUS project will seek to decarbonise the steel production process through hydrogen production and circular energy use. The SYRIUS project, which is backed by a €10M grant from Horizon Europe, will integrate a 4.2 MW Solid Oxide Electrolyster (SOEC) into an Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) plant, which will enable sustainable steel production.
The SOEC will be installed at Acciai Speciali Terni in Terni, Italy. The facility will have capacity of over 1,000 tonnes per annum of stainless and specialty steel produced. Elcogen’s expertise in solid oxide cell and electrolysis technologies will provide stacks designed for large-scale production on a specialised platform.
