Expected impact | SHINE
Project

Expected impact

SHINE is designed to create environmental, technological, economic, scientific and societal impact through industrial-scale electrification of high-temperature gas heating.

>90%

Target reduction in direct CO₂ emissions compared with fossil-based heating.

≈17,000 tCO₂/y

Indicative avoided emissions for a 10 MW thermal system operating 8,500 h/year with renewable electricity.

350–380 kWh/tDRI

Expected energy saving compared with hydrogen-fired heater solutions.

Impact pathways

Impact domainHow SHINE contributesPrimary audiences
EnvironmentalElectrifies high-temperature process heating and supports renewable energy integration.Steelmakers, policymakers, society
TechnologicalValidates a modular 13.7 MW heater at TRL 8 and develops monitoring, modelling and Digital Twin capabilities.Plant operators, technology suppliers
EconomicDevelops market analysis, business models, LCC and routes to industrial uptake.Technology providers, investors, steel producers
ScientificGenerates validated data, modelling results and refractory knowledge for high-temperature hydrogen service.Research and academia
SocietalSupports skill development, cleaner industrial operations and competitiveness in the green transition.Workers, communities, public bodies
The full environmental benefit depends on access to low-carbon electricity. SHINE therefore evaluates both direct and lifecycle impacts rather than treating electrification alone as sufficient evidence of decarbonisation.
