INDONESIA-INDIA-AUSTRALIA SYMPOSIUM ON FRONTIERS IN HYDROGEN METALLURGY 2026

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.
