As leaders and organizations strive to reduce carbon emissions, the use of hydrogen as a fuel source continues to surface as a compelling alternative. Process heating through hydrogen combustion isn’t necessarily novel. The refining and petrochemical industries have leveraged the heating content in byproducts (many of those rich in hydrogen) to maximize unit efficiency, reduce the consumption of purchased fuel, and eliminate the release of unburned hydrocarbons to the atmosphere. While the carbon free nature to hydrogen offers a seemingly simple path to carbon free emissions, transitioning to hydrogen presents several challenges that, if unmitigated, will negatively impact the viability of products and services critical to our daily lives.

The future of energy is undergoing a significant transformation, with hydrogen emerging as a promising, eco-friendly fuel source. The growing global demand for hydrogen is driven by its ability to generate water as its only byproduct during combustion, with minimal carbon dioxide emissions, depending on its production method. However, integrating hydrogen into various applications presents unique challenges, particularly when it comes to combustion systems. In this article, we explore how radiant wall burner technology is addressing the issues associated with introducing hydrogen fuels into combustion processes.

As industries worldwide look for sustainable energy solutions, Hydrogen (H2) is emerging as a promising alternative to traditional fossil fuels. At John Zink, we’re leading the charge in innovating combustion technologies that meet the evolving needs of our clients. One area of focus is converting tangentially fired boilers from natural gas to hydrogen. This process offers exciting possibilities but comes with its own set of challenges.
