The European Green Deal:
Our future depends on the health of the planet. The European Green Deal is the EU member states’ strategy to achieve climate neutrality by 2050.
Its initiatives, which aim to transform various sectors such as energy, agriculture, transport, and industry through policies and measures that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and protect the environment, are supported by European Climate Legislation.
A European Regulation of the European Parliament and the Council of 30 June establishes the framework to achieve the aforementioned neutrality and secures the legally binding commitment of the member states to reduce the EU’s net greenhouse gas emissions by at least 55% compared to 1990 levels by 2030.

Industrial Decarbonization:
The industrial sector is responsible for a large portion of greenhouse gas emissions due to energy consumption from burning fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. These emissions contribute to global warming and climate change, in addition to being a scarce and finite resource.
Industrial decarbonization refers to the reduction of carbon emissions and the elimination of fossil fuels in industrial processes, making it a key goal in combating climate change and achieving carbon neutrality.
Hydrogen Combustion:
Hydrogen is one of the most attractive alternatives to fossil fuels, as it is a clean and renewable energy source, highly efficient, and produces low environmental impact when combusted. This combustion follows the following chemical equation:
2 H2 + O2 -> 2 H2O
Two molecules of hydrogen (H2) combine with one molecule of oxygen (O2) to form two molecules of water (H2O) and release energy.
KALFRISA:
Our commitment to sustainability, in line with the objectives of the Green Deal, drives us to work on the decarbonization of our equipment through various innovation and development projects.
Kalfrisa is committed to decarbonizing those processes that require fossil fuels to reach operating conditions and has achieved 100% hydrogen combustion at an industrial scale.
