Assessing wind hydrogen production and resulting GHG emissions for Aurubis in Hamburg
,
Bewertung der Wind-Wasserstoff-Produktion und der daraus resultierenden Treibhausgasemissionen für Aurubis in Hamburg
This poster of a case study deals with a real-world challenge in the Hamburg harbor area at the Aurubis site. The investigation aims to determine the feasibility of producing on-site green hydrogen for reducing a daily batch of copper-oxide in two scenarios. The target is to substitute natural gas as a reducing agent in the fire refining process of the anode furnace. This avoids the process-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. A technical-economic analysis assesses the feasibility of utilizing an on-site electrolyzer with a wind turbine for the year 2023.
