Driving Green Innovation in India's Steel Sector: A Path Towards Decarbonisation
Key Ideas
  • Ministry of Steel in India has released a comprehensive report focusing on the decarbonisation of the steel sector, aligning with the recommendations of 14 Task Forces.
  • The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy has initiated the National Green Hydrogen Mission to promote green hydrogen production, with the Ministry of Steel being actively involved in pilot projects using 100% hydrogen.
  • Government policies such as Steel Scrap Recycling Policy and National Solar Mission aim to reduce carbon emissions and promote the use of renewable energy in the steel industry.
  • Initiatives like the National Steel Policy and Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) scheme incentivize the adoption of green technologies and efficient energy consumption in the steel sector.
The Ministry of Steel in India has taken significant steps towards decarbonisation and resource efficiency in the steel sector. A key initiative includes the release of a report titled "Greening the Steel Sector in India: Roadmap and Action Plan", which outlines strategies for decarbonisation and highlights challenges and key green technologies. Additionally, the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy's National Green Hydrogen Mission involves the Ministry of Steel in pilot projects to produce Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) using hydrogen, aiming to reduce coal and coke consumption. Government policies like the Steel Scrap Recycling Policy and the National Solar Mission further contribute to reducing carbon emissions and promoting renewable energy sources in the steel industry. The National Steel Policy emphasizes the adoption of environmentally friendly technologies, while schemes like Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) incentivize energy efficiency in steel production. These efforts align with the government's commitment to driving green innovation and sustainability in the steel sector.
