Japanese automaker the Toyota Environmental Challenge has designed a general-purpose, industrial hydrogen burner with zero CO2 emissions and very few environmentally hazardous nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions. Unlike conventional hydrogen burners, the new design allows hydrogen to combust slowly by lowering oxygen concentration within the furnace, resulting in reduced NOx and an environmentally friendly alternative to natural gas burners. Developed in conjunction with furnace manufacturer Chugai Ro, the burner will help achieve the zero CO2 emissions section of Toyotathe Toyota Environmental Challenge Environmental Challenge 2050 by replacing 1,000 large-scale gas burners across the firm's Japanese facilities.
