The Indian government has granted approval for three pilot projects in the steel sector as part of the national green hydrogen mission. These projects are focused on integrating hydrogen into steel production processes to promote low-carbon practices. The objective is to explore advanced technologies for incorporating green hydrogen in steelmaking, with an emphasis on safety, technical feasibility, and economic viability. The approved projects include consortia led by Matrix Gas and Renewables Ltd, Simplex Castings Ltd, and the Steel Authority of India Ltd. These projects will involve capacities ranging from 40 to 3,200 tons per day (TPD) and are set to receive a total of ₹347 crore in financial support from the government. The expected timeline for commissioning these pilot plants is within the next three years. The initiatives aim to pave the way for broader adoption of green hydrogen technologies in India's steel production sector, signaling a positive step towards sustainable and environmentally friendly steel production.
