France-based aluminum producer Constellium has achieved its first industrial-scale aluminum casting using hydrogen combustion at its R&D center in Voreppe, France. The process yielded a 12-ton aluminum slab for electric vehicles, advancing the company's decarbonization efforts.
"Using hydrogen as a substitute for natural gas demonstrates our commitment to sustainability and paves the way for future green technology innovations," said Ludovic Piquier, Constellium's chief technical officer.
Constellium is part of the EU-funded Hyinheat initiative, which promotes hydrogen fuel for high-temperature processes in energy-intensive industries. In April, Constellium closed its coal-fired power station in Singen, Germany, furthering its shift from coal power.
