Advancing Hydrogen-Based Metallurgy Technologies for a Sustainable Future

Join the Indonesia-India-Australia Symposium on Frontiers in Hydrogen Metallurgy, an international academic and professional forum focusing on the advancement of hydrogen-based metallurgy technologies and research. This symposium brings together leading experts, researchers, and academics from Indonesia, India, and Australia to discuss the future of hydrogen applications in metallurgical processes.

The event highlights key developments in hydrogen reduction, hydrogen plasma metallurgy, sustainable steelmaking, alternative reducing gases, and innovative approaches for metal extraction and refining.

About This Event

The Indonesia-India-Australia Symposium on Frontiers in Hydrogen Metallurgy is designed as a collaborative platform to exchange knowledge, research findings, and technological innovations in the field of sustainable metallurgy. As the global metallurgical industry moves toward low-carbon and environmentally responsible production, hydrogen has become one of the most promising alternatives for reducing emissions in metal extraction, refining, and steelmaking processes.

This symposium explores the role of hydrogen and hydrogen-based technologies in transforming conventional metallurgical processes. Discussions include hydrogen reduction, hydrogen plasma smelting, sustainable steel refining, ammonia-based reduction, metal recovery from industrial waste, and the purification of critical and rare metals.
