One of the greatest potentials for cutting carbon in an asphalt mixing plant lies in the choice of fuel.

* Energy-intensive thermal drying and heating process of virgin mineral and RAP material, carbon-free thanks to green hydrogen.

Hydrogen as an energy source

No greenhouse gases
Renewable energies
High energy density – suitable for thermal processes
No use of arable land – no competition with food production
Investments in the H₂ sector will increase until 2050
Demand for 2,500 TWh/a of H₂ expected (Europe, 2050)

Hydrogen drying system in detail

BENNINGHOVEN has developed an optimally adapted end-to-end solution for material drying, which for the first time enables customers to use the new burner generation and thereby run their plant with up to 100% green hydrogen.

The perfectly coordinated hydrogen drying system consists of a MULTI JET multi-fuel burner, an intelligent burner control system (MULTI JET Control), a feed system with a patented pressure control section which reduces the hydrogen for the burner from 350 bar to the required 1.3 bara, as well as other plant components that are specifically adapted to the use of hydrogen.

This end-to-end solution connects directly to the hydrogen source – flexibly from different units such as trailers, pipes or remote electrolyzers.
