The Indian government's approval of three pilot projects for green steel production under the National Green Hydrogen Mission marks a significant step towards promoting sustainable practices in the steel industry. With a substantial financial support of ₹3.47 billion (~$41.28 million), these projects are set to be operational within the next three years. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) has established guidelines for these pilot projects to evaluate the feasibility and performance of using green hydrogen in steelmaking processes. The program focuses on integrating advanced technologies to leverage green hydrogen, validating its technical feasibility, and assessing its performance in producing low-carbon iron and steel. Among the selected pilot projects, Matrix Gas and Renewables, Simplex Castings, and Steel Authority of India are prominent players authorized to embark on this innovative journey. These projects will explore various aspects, including producing Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) using 100% hydrogen, reducing coal/coke consumption in blast furnaces by incorporating hydrogen, and injecting hydrogen in vertical-based shaft-making units. Furthermore, MECON, a government enterprise, has issued a request for proposal to initiate pilot projects on green hydrogen injection in existing blast furnaces and DRI units, highlighting the government's commitment to fostering sustainable practices in steel production. Additionally, private entities like Jindal Steel & Power and Jindal Renewables have shown interest in investing in green hydrogen production for steelmaking purposes, with JSPL planning to integrate green hydrogen into its DRI units. This collective effort signifies a positive shift towards greener and more sustainable steel production in India.
