The National Institute of Technology (NIT) Durgapur, in collaboration with Durgapur Steel Plant, is set to host a short-term course on green steel as part of the India-Australia Mineral Scholar Programme (IAMSN). The course will address carbon emissions in the steel industry, emphasizing sustainability through decarbonization strategies, including the utilization of hydrogen-based processes, enhanced energy efficiency, and integration of renewable energy sources. Professor Arvind Choubey, the director of NIT Durgapur, highlighted the importance of the program in educating participants on hydrogen fundamentals, decarbonization pathways such as direct reduced iron (DRI) process and electrolytic routes for 'green' steel production. The course's relevance extends globally, especially with the pressing need for climate action outlined in agreements like the Paris Agreement. The initiative aims to provide insights to industry professionals, researchers, and policymakers committed to fostering a sustainable and low-carbon future in steel production. The course also aligns with India's National Steel Policy for 2030, which aims to significantly boost steel production and consumption in the country. The collaboration between India and Australia under the IAMSN signifies a joint effort towards green steel technology, responding to the increasing demand for sustainable practices in the steel industry. With the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the 1st annual summit in New Delhi, the partnership is geared towards enhancing bilateral involvement in trade, investment, and critical minerals, further emphasizing the importance of green steel and sustainable development.
