Objectives
- Modeling of combustion behavior of coal and its replicability using hydrogen.
- Analysis of energy, emission and mass flow characteristics in a reference coal-fired brick
kiln. - Investigate techno-economic aspects of the hydrogen applications for the production of clay bricks in the reference kiln.

Expected Outcomes:
This research will execute comparison of the combustion behavior of coal and hydrogen fuels and propose an optimum fuel mix for low carbon brick-making technology suitable for Nepal. The study will provide a pathway for emission reduction in the existing brick manufacturing facilities and assist for further study in the use of hydrogen as a fuel for industrial heat.
