Green Hydrogen Revolutionizing India's Steel Industry
Key Ideas
  • India Green Steel Coalition releases whitepaper on the transformative potential of green hydrogen in the Indian steel sector.
  • Green hydrogen, produced from renewable electricity, can significantly reduce CO2 emissions in steel production processes.
  • India's National Hydrogen Mission aims to establish the country as a global leader in green hydrogen, targeting five million metric tonnes annually by 2030.
  • Strategic investments and policy frameworks are crucial to accelerating green hydrogen adoption in steelmaking for long-term environmental and economic benefits.
The India Green Steel Coalition (IGSC) launched a whitepaper titled 'Role of Green Hydrogen in the Indian Steel Sector' in New Delhi, emphasizing the importance of green hydrogen in decarbonizing the steel industry. The paper highlights the potential of green hydrogen to reduce emissions, particularly in DRI-EAF processes, and become a key enabler of low-carbon steel production as demand rises. With India's investment in green hydrogen infrastructure and the ambitious targets of the National Hydrogen Mission, the country aims to lead in green hydrogen production by 2030. Various industry leaders stressed the significance of green hydrogen in cutting emissions, aligning with net-zero goals, and driving sustainability and innovation in steelmaking. The whitepaper will serve as a guiding document for stakeholders to promote the use of green hydrogen in India's steel sector, emphasizing the need for scalable hydrogen production technologies and supportive policy frameworks.
