Linde Gaz Polska has entered into an agreement with Arcelormittal Poland to develop a hydrogen production plant on the site of its Krakow branch in Poland. The new project is expected to supply process gas to two galvanizing plants.

Krakow/Poland – Since 2018, Arcelormittal Poland has not used coal as a fuel in its Kraków branch, and since July this year it has not produced coke here. – Our installations: the hot rolling mill and the cold rolling mill, as well as the galvanizing and sheet metal painting lines, currently operate exclusively on the basis of natural gas – explains Łukasz Skorupa, COO Flat Products and Quality and director of the Krakow branch. "We are currently completing a project to build hydrogen furnaces, which allowed us to eliminate ammonia in the annealing plant. Its cost is PLN 52 million (12.58 million dollars). The project with Linde, on the other hand, is to ensure a reliable supply of hydrogen for our galvanizing plants. We are increasingly focusing on hydrogen," he adds.

The plant will be built near the galvanizing plant, producing hydrogen from natural gas. The investment has already begun, and design work is currently underway. In addition to hydrogen fuel for galvanizing plants, the Krakow branch of Arcelormittal Poland will also gain another environmental effect – it will completely eliminate ammonia from the process, which will increase the level of process safety of the plants.

"Since 2004, we have already invested nearly PLN 2.5 billion in Kraków's rolling mills and galvanizing plants. We are constantly improving the quality of our products, expanding their product range, and at the same time gradually reducing our environmental impact," says Wojciech Koszuta, CEO of Arcelormittal Poland. “Hence the elimination of ammonia and the transition to hydrogen. The decarbonization of our company is not only about activities in the area of steel production, but also in the processing part," he concludes.

"As an expert with over a century of experience in the field of hydrogen production, distribution and storage, we were able to offer Arcelormittal the best solutions available in the hydrogen sector, ensuring the highest level of operational plant safety and production process reliability," says Oleksandra Tuzhylina, CEO of Linde Gaz Polska.
