India's steel sector is undergoing a notable shift towards decarbonization through the adoption of green hydrogen as a key strategy, with a targeted timeline set for 2070. This transition necessitates substantial financial investments and strong policy support to make it a reality. By integrating green hydrogen into steel production processes, significant reductions in CO2 emissions can be achieved, particularly through innovative methods like the hydrogen-based direct reduced iron (DRI) and electric arc furnace (EAF) route. India is actively advancing its infrastructure for green hydrogen production, transitioning from carbon-intensive methods to renewable-powered electrolysis. The National Hydrogen Mission, initiated in 2021, aims to position India as a global leader in green hydrogen production, with specific targets for 2030. Key technologies such as alkaline electrolysis, biomass gasification with carbon capture, and solid oxide electrolysis are driving this transition. In the context of steelmaking, green hydrogen offers opportunities to revolutionize traditional carbon-intensive processes. Applications include partial replacement of conventional fuels in agglomeration processes, reducing coke consumption in blast furnace operations through hydrogen injection, and substituting natural gas with green hydrogen in direct reduced iron (DRI) processes. To make the transition to green hydrogen economically viable for the steel sector, production-linked incentives, tax benefits, public-private partnerships, and a robust green steel policy framework are deemed essential. While current costs of green hydrogen production are higher than conventional methods, projections indicate a substantial reduction by 2030 through technological advancements and increased renewable energy integration. However, challenges such as initial investment costs, infrastructure development, supply chain logistics, and skill enhancement must be effectively addressed to ensure the successful integration of green hydrogen in the steel sector. Overcoming these challenges will not only drive emission reductions but also position Indian steel producers favorably in a global market increasingly focused on carbon consciousness.
