The energy transition and the need for alternative energy sources, which became evident in 2019, led Kalfrisa to focus on decarbonization as our main research line. Since then, we have set significant challenges within the framework of sustainable development and industrial decarbonization, developing real solutions with minimal energy consumption that are capable of operating with clean and renewable energy. This development line is based on:

1. Energy optimization through redesign and operation to reduce process energy consumption.
2. Support in digital technologies for data control and processing to contribute to this optimization.
3. Replacement of the traditional fossil energy currently in use with clean, renewable energies — specifically electricity, hydrogen, and biogas.

Our latest milestone in this area is the inauguration, in early May, of the Clean Technology Design and Validation Center, which allows testing of all types of clean technologies, highlighting hydrogen combustion at different power levels and mixture percentages up to 100% H₂, as well as the electrification of thermal processes.
