The Union Government of India has approved three pilot projects under the National Green Hydrogen Mission to explore the use of hydrogen in steel production. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy issued guidelines for these pilot projects in the steel sector to advance technologies for utilizing green hydrogen in steelmaking processes. These projects, expected to be commissioned in the next three years, aim to showcase the safe and secure operations of green hydrogen-based steelmaking, validate technical feasibility, and assess economic viability for low-carbon iron and steel production. The sanctioned pilot projects include companies like Matrix Gas and Renewables Ltd, Simplex Castings Ltd, and Steel Authority of India Ltd (Ranchi), with varying capacities and consortium members. The total financial support from the Government of India for these pilot projects amounts to Rs. 347 Crore. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched with a substantial outlay, aims to make India self-reliant through clean energy initiatives. It is envisioned to lead to significant decarbonization, reduce fossil fuel imports, and position India as a global leader in Green Hydrogen technology and market. The mission is expected to drive a Clean Energy Transition and pave the way for technological advancements in the field of green energy.
