The World’s First Ceramic Slab Made From Green Hydrogen Has Been Produced. , world leader in the production of innovative solutions and large, high-end technical ceramic slabs for the design, furnishing and architecture market, and , a company in the Edison Group that supports customers along their decarbonization journey and ecological transition, – hydrogen obtained using renewable energy – . Specifically, the slab produced is , and stands out for its – thus the name – in which, .
The production site is the , the new plant in Castellarano, Reggio Emilia – completed in 2023 – and already equipped with the innovative technologies and infrastructures needed to use 100% green hydrogen. The industrial process being developed in Castellarano is the first concrete result in the process of decarbonising the ceramics industry that Iris Ceramica Group and Edison Next are working on jointly. After this initial phase, the H2 Factory will be powered by higher percentages of green hydrogen produced in a cutting-edge, bespoke plant already designed and being implemented by Edison Next.
CEO of Edison Next stated: “This is the proof that, by putting technologies and innovation into play alongside skill and determination, we can achieve major results even in fields where this challenge is tough, as it demands the rethinking of the whole production process and the use of more forward- looking technologies like hydrogen,” “We are proud to be working with one of the top name.
