The Ministry of Steel in India, under the leadership of Secretary Nagendra Nath Sinha, is pushing for the adoption of a green hydrogen-based process in the steel industry to combat carbon emissions. By directly reducing iron with 100% hydrogen, the industry aims to significantly reduce its carbon footprint. Although currently expensive, this technology holds promise for a more sustainable future if collectively developed and adopted. Secretary Sinha addressed the challenges faced by the steel sector, including high carbon emissions compared to the global average and limited scrap availability. Task forces are being formed to tackle various aspects of sustainability, focusing on energy efficiency, renewable energy sources, and emissions reduction. Additionally, efforts are underway to optimize water consumption and enhance overall sustainability practices. Leena Nandan from the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change emphasized India's commitment to sourcing 50% of energy from non-fossil fuels by 2030 and reducing the emission intensity of the economy by 45%. The steel industry is urged to take responsibility and collaborate to drive these sustainability initiatives forward.
