The Indian government has sanctioned three pilot projects to utilize hydrogen in steel production as part of the National Green Hydrogen Mission. These projects aim to showcase the safe and efficient use of green hydrogen in steelmaking processes, with a focus on reducing carbon emissions. The projects will involve companies like Matrix Gas and Renewables Ltd., Indian Institute of Technology Bhubaneswar, Metsol AB, Simplex Castings Ltd., BSBK Pvt. Ltd., Ten Eight Investment, and Steel Authority of India Ltd. These initiatives are expected to receive INR 347 crore in funding and are projected to be operational within the next three years. The National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in 2023 with significant financial backing, is geared towards driving India's transition to clean energy and reducing its dependency on fossil fuels. The mission not only aims to make India self-reliant in clean energy but also to position the country as a leader in green hydrogen technology globally. This move is seen as a crucial step towards decarbonizing the economy and accelerating the adoption of sustainable practices in the steel industry.
