Decarbonation

Commitments to decarbonization

Explore innovation and decarbonization in the refractory industry

Since its creation, TRB has always been a pioneer in refractory innovation.

Today, we can help you think through the transformations and changes that the challenges of reducing carbon emissions will bring. What impact will new demands (electrification, use of hydrogen, alternative fuels, biomass, etc.) have on refractories? How will these changes affect your production tools, and how can you optimize refractory design (smelters, etc.)?

TRB: 75 years of innovation
for a low-carbon future

With 75 years' experience and recognized for its expertise in the design of innovative solutions and the production of high-performance products, TRB is your privileged partner. Our role is also to initiate reflection, exchange and ask the right questions about refractories between the various players in tomorrow's green steel (engineering companies, equipment suppliers, manufacturers and end-users), so that together we can meet the challenge of decarbonization.

Towards efficient decarbonization
with TRB expertise

In concrete terms, thanks to our experts involved in monitoring our products at production sites, who are able to identify avenues for development, we are at your side to deploy, step by step, an effective and sustainable decarbonization. This assistance, which also relies on our engineering department's ability to design and dimension refractory installations, currently takes the form of design consultancy services (for floors, structures around the refractory) in decarbonized steel projects, in Europe and elsewhere.

In addition to blast furnaces, we apply this method to other sectors: cement plants, heat treatment, etc. 

Meeting tomorrow's challenges

A forerunner in innovation in the refractory market, TRB is already anticipating economic and social trends, environmental issues and the limitation of resources and raw materials, by constantly developing innovative solutions. For example, by incorporating up to 15% recycled materials in the design of new products.
