The Union Government in India has taken a significant step towards green hydrogen adoption in the steel industry by approving three pilot projects under the National Green Hydrogen Mission. These projects aim to revolutionize steel production by incorporating green hydrogen, demonstrating its safety and efficiency, and evaluating its economic viability. MNRE has sanctioned pilot projects with leading companies to establish pilot plants for this purpose, supported by a Rs. 347 crore allocation. The projects will focus on producing Direct Reduced Iron using 100% hydrogen, reducing coal and coke usage in blast furnaces, and injecting hydrogen into DRI production units. These initiatives align with the larger goal of the National Green Hydrogen Mission, launched in 2023, which seeks to drive India's clean energy transformation, reduce carbon emissions, and promote self-reliance in energy. By investing in green hydrogen technologies, India aims to decrease its dependence on fossil fuel imports, inspire global clean energy initiatives, and position itself as a key player in the green hydrogen technology market.
