India's First Green Steel Production Facility Powered by Green Hydrogen
Key Ideas
  • Gensol Engineering Limited partners with Matrix Gas & Renewables to develop India's first and largest Green Steel production facility utilizing 100% Green Hydrogen, in alignment with national missions for sustainable steel production.
  • The project, supported by the Government of India with 50% capex incentives, marks a significant step towards reducing carbon emissions in the steel industry through innovative technologies like direct reduced iron (DRI) vertical shaft technology powered by green hydrogen.
  • This initiative symbolizes a commitment to sustainable development, with plans to replicate similar Green Steel plants across India and introduces a process that eliminates CO2 emissions in iron production by replacing fossil fuels with green hydrogen.
  • The collaboration involves key players such as Gensol Engineering Ltd, Matrix Gas & Renewables Ltd, Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar, and Metsol AB, showcasing expertise in delivering innovative energy solutions and advancing clean energy goals in India.
Gensol Engineering Ltd, a leading player in the renewable energy sector, has teamed up with Matrix Gas & Renewables to establish India's first and largest Green Steel production facility. This groundbreaking initiative will rely entirely on Green Hydrogen, aligning with national missions for sustainable steel production. The project, supported by a total capital expenditure of Rs 321 crore and 50% capex incentives from the Government of India, represents a significant advancement in clean iron production. By utilizing direct reduced iron (DRI) vertical shaft technology powered by green hydrogen, the facility aims to eliminate CO2 emissions that are typically generated by traditional fossil fuel-dependent processes. This approach not only supports sustainable development but also showcases a path to reduce carbon footprints in the steel industry. The project will have a capacity of 50 tons per day and involves collaboration from various organizations like Gensol Engineering Ltd, Matrix Gas & Renewables Ltd, Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar, and Metsol AB. Through this partnership, the consortium aims to pioneer a new era of sustainable steel production in India, promoting green energy solutions and enhancing industrial capabilities.
