17 Jul 2023 CW Team

Tata Steel, in collaboration with the British High Commission in India, has announced its commitment to funding research and development (R&D) projects in the low carbon hydrogen sector. This partnership is part of the 'UK-India Hydrogen Partnership Sprint Series' initiative. Tata Steel will provide around Rs 8.3 million in funding for two innovative projects focused on low carbon hydrogen.

In a statement, Tata Steel mentioned that the initiative is open to participants from both India and the UK. The company outlined two specific challenges that proposals bidding for the grant should address. The first challenge is the development and implementation of hydrogen technologies to promote sustainability in the industrial sector. The second challenge involves finding solutions for hydrogen storage and purification.

Tata Steel recognises the urgent need for the steel industry to decarbonise in a manner that is both technologically advanced and economically viable. The current carbon footprint of the steel sector is unsustainable, and clean hydrogen, while a promising solution, faces various challenges in terms of its practical implementation and operation.
