Decarbonising the Indian Steel Industry: Roadmap towards a Green Steel Economy

The report outlines a roadmap for decarbonizing India's steel industry to prevent a projected 200 percent increase in sectoral emissions by 2050, proposing five technical levers and six strategic policy objectives to transition toward a green steel economy.

• India's steel sector emissions are projected to increase by 200 percent by 2050, necessitating decarbonization to align with the country's climate goals and economic growth.
• The report identifies five primary technical levers for decarbonization: increasing energy efficiency, expanding the use of scrap, implementing carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS), increasing the share of renewable electricity in captive consumption, and utilizing green hydrogen.
• The proposed roadmap for a low-carbon steel economy consists of six objectives: establishing green steel standards, advancing green energy uptake (green H2 and renewables), implementing green procurement policies, supporting R&D for breakthrough technologies like CCUS and direct electrification, promoting pilots and clusters, and creating financing frameworks such as green bonds.
