The IFRF together with its French Committee, will soon host an Industrial Combustion training course on 18th-19th March 2025 at Air Liquide’s advanced testing facilities in France. There are 16 registered attendees for this course which is a great number, but we still have space left for up to 4 more to attend. So if you want to learn about industrial combustion, including hands-on experience with a range of fuels on world-leading test facilities, please contact us at  or register direct.

Full details of the training, including the programme and lecturers are available on the IFRF website.  As a brief resume of the course, it will begin with a comprehensive overview of combustion applications across various energy-intensive industrial sectors, including cement, steel, glass, oil and gas, and energy production. Attendees will gain practical experience in all relevant aspects, with a focus on reducing CO2 emissions through the use of renewable fuels including hydrogen.

Participants will benefit from lectures given by experienced professionals from both industry and academia. The training includes two practical sessions: one with a laboratory burner from the CNRS CORIA laboratory, and another with the Air Liquide 2 MW pilot furnace, operating with natural gas and hydrogen with air and/or oxygen, for oxy-combustion. The photograph for this blog post shows Prof David Honoré from CORIA installing the laboratory natural gas/ hydrogen burner, next to the 2 MW Air Liquide pilot furnace in preparation for the training.

The training is limited to 20 participants, ensuring a focused and personalised learning experience.
