With increasing importance being given to climate-friendly and sustainable production practices, alternate fuels for the energy-intensive ceramics industry have come in the spotlight, with hydrogen taking the central stage. The potential use of hydrogen as a primary fuel for the kilns operating in the ceramics industry has been elucidated in this article. Furthermore, the feasibility of operating the presently available ceramic kilns with hydrogen is also delved upon. Recommendations with respect to climate policy and short- and long-term measures for integrating hydrogen into the large-scale production in the ceramics industry have been outlined in the conclusion.
