Tecnicas Reunidas is leading the research, design and experimental validation of the technological solution for the reprocessing of the by-product with gases of renewable origin, which consists of a scale reduction reactor with a processing capacity of 500 tonne per year continuously to obtain high quality metallic iron, with the aim of reusing it as raw material in the steel production process. For the production of these renewable gases and their incorporation into the proposed technological solution, Tecnicas Reunidas is participating in the study, design and manufacture of the balance of plant for the high efficiency (>60%) electrolysis system based on high temperature SOEC technology. It will integrate the stack designed and manufactured by AMES and will be validated in a 5 kW (35 cubic meters per day) electrolysis system and a 3 kW (20 cubic meters per day) co-electrolysis system.The HYMET project aims to study new technologies applicable in the steel industry for the revalorization of by-products of the process itself and decarbonization through the use of renewable raw materials, such as hydrogen. Led by CELSA Group, the HYMET project has a total estimated budget of EUR 5.8 million euros and has been supported by the Center for the Development of Industrial Technology through the MISSIONS call and has a grant of EUR 3.9 million euros.HYMET proposes the study and technological maturation of innovative solutions in three future vectors for decarbonization and industrial circularity such as: the valorization of industrial waste (iron oxides scale produced in rolling mills, mainly) through an innovative reduction reactor using renewable reducing agents; the generation of green hydrogen through high efficiency electrolysis technologies AEM and SOEC and, finally, the study of CO2 capture and its re-integration through Co-SOEC electrolysis technologies for the generation of synthesis gas.This initiative has been promoted by a group of leading companies in each of the technologies under study: the CELSA Group, TECNICAS REUNIDAS, AMES PM TECH CENTER SAU, ARIEMA Energia y Medioambiente and AE SA.
