The Indian government is focusing on decarbonizing the emissions-intensive steel industry by leveraging green hydrogen. The steel ministry, with its consultancy arm MECON, aims to implement pilot schemes utilizing green hydrogen in direct reduction of iron (DRI) and blast furnaces. As the iron and steel sector accounts for a significant portion of India's carbon dioxide emissions, reducing its carbon footprint is essential for achieving the country's net zero target. The pilot schemes will explore various approaches to incorporating green hydrogen in steel production processes. India has set ambitious goals to produce 5 million metric tons of green hydrogen annually by 2030, leading to a substantial reduction in carbon emissions and saving billions in fossil fuel imports. Despite the current cost challenges, the government's National Green Hydrogen Mission seeks to position India as a key player in green hydrogen production, utilization, and export. This initiative showcases a positive step towards sustainable and eco-friendly steel production in India.
