Energy-intensive industries such as steel, glass, ceramics, and non-ferrous metals face the challenge of making their thermal processes CO₂-efficient. In addition to (partial) electrification, the use of green hydrogen is becoming increasingly important. Hybrid heating systems, which combine electrical and fuel-based energy sources, offer high flexibility, reduce geopolitical dependencies, and lower energy costs.
The "MatELHeat" project focuses on the aging and lifespan of heating elements in hybrid heating concepts. The goal is to define application limits, to develop new alloy systems, and to adapt existing heating elements to specific process atmospheres by the use of coatings.
