Keller is a member of a research community consisting of several partners from North Rhine-Westphalia: institutes, burner manufacturers, brickmakers and plant manufacturers.
In a three-week test, bricks were produced under real conditions with the addition of hydrogen as fuel. With the new burner technology (dual fuel burner), it is feasible to operate both with 100% H2 and alternately with 100% natural gas.
This positive and pragmatic success places Keller now in a position to deliver burner technology for hydrogen operation, together with the required control and safety technology. And thus, it fulfils its ambitious goal of increasing energy efficiency for the brick and tile industry and reducing CO2 emissions at the same time.
Keller will actively follow the hydrogen production and storage possibilities and continue to monitor the improving of the infrastructure in this respect, both in Germany and in Europe.
