MECON Limited, a prominent steel PSU under the Ministry of Steel, has announced an initiative to accelerate the adoption of green hydrogen in steel manufacturing. The government has been actively promoting the use of green hydrogen as a cleaner alternative to fossil fuels in various industries. MECON's call for proposals from interested parties to incorporate hydrogen in their steel production processes marks a significant step towards achieving this goal. The specific areas identified for the integration of hydrogen include the DRI Pilot Plant, existing Blast Furnace, and DRI Vertical shaft. By leveraging green hydrogen, the steel industry can reduce its carbon footprint and contribute to sustainable production practices. This move not only aligns with global efforts to combat climate change but also positions India as a frontrunner in adopting innovative and eco-friendly technologies in the manufacturing sector.
