State-run Steel Authority of India (SAIL) has partnered with global miner BHP to address carbon emissions at SAIL's steel plants in India. The collaboration involves exploring the use of hydrogen and biochar as potential solutions to reduce emissions from blast furnaces. SAIL Chairman emphasized the urgency to align the steel sector with climate commitments. India, as the third-largest emitter of greenhouse gases, has set a target to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2070. The steel industry in India contributes significantly to the country's emissions, generating more carbon dioxide per ton of steel produced compared to the global average. The partnership aims to drive innovation and implementation of cleaner technologies in the steel industry, focusing on research and development. This initiative reflects efforts to reduce the carbon footprint and enhance sustainability in steel production in India, aligning with global climate goals.
