In Kolkata, the process of establishing a consortium to develop indigenous green technology for steel production has begun. The government is collaborating with international technology provider Danieli to lower the cost of Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) plants based on clean energy, aiming to overcome the hurdle of expensive imported technology. The Steel Ministry has initiated tenders under the National Green Hydrogen Mission, allocating funds for piloting green steel-making technologies. The plan involves a consortium led by the Institute of Minerals and Materials Technology (IMMT) to pioneer India's first green steel-making initiative using a 100% hydrogen-based DRI production method. Efforts are underway to reduce the cost of a hydrogen-based DRI plant to make it more accessible for steel companies. The government is also developing a decarbonization roadmap to tackle the steel sector's carbon footprint, focusing on increasing hydrogen usage and implementing carbon capture technologies. Energiron direct reduction technology, utilizing hydrogen, is highlighted for its energy efficiency, product quality, and environmental compliance. While countries like China and Sweden are already progressing towards fossil fuel-free DRI production, India aims to achieve a 20% reduction in carbon intensity in steel production in the near term.
