Green steel focus: Ministry to launch roadmap for steel production

The Ministry of Steel is scheduled to host an event titled "Greening Steel: Pathway to Sustainability" on 10th September 2024 at the C.D. Deshmukh Hall, India International Centre, New Delhi. The event will bring together representatives from various ministries, Central Public Sector Enterprises (CPSEs), think tanks, academia, institutions, and key players in the steel industry.

A major feature of the event will be the release of a comprehensive report, "Greening the Steel Sector in India: Roadmap and Action Plan," prepared by the Ministry of Steel. This report, based on the findings of 14 task forces formed by the ministry, outlines the pathway for decarbonising India's steel sector.

The report will address various aspects of carbon emissions within the steel industry, providing a detailed overview of the current situation, key decarbonisation strategies, technological innovations, policy frameworks, and a future roadmap to reduce emissions in the sector. It will also propose strategies such as energy efficiency, the use of renewable energy, material efficiency, green hydrogen, and biochar to facilitate the transition to sustainable steel production.

The event will also include a panel discussion on "Leadership and Innovation: Driving the Green Steel Transition," where industry experts will share their perspectives on advancing decarbonisation in the steel sector. The discussion is expected to highlight innovative ideas and leadership insights.

This initiative aligns with India's commitment to achieving net-zero carbon emissions as part of its nationally determined commitments (NDC). The report is viewed as a significant step in shaping the future of India's steel industry and guiding it towards lower carbon emissions.
