Industry leaders pioneering the use of hydrogen to decarbonise the steel industry met on Monday in Delhi to discuss its potential and challenges. The event was organised by the Center for Study of Science, Technology and Policy (CSTEP), a science and technology-based think tank, to launch its report Advanced Process Simulation Modelling for Hydrogen Application in Steel and Cement – A Technical and Economic Assessment.
The report comes at a time when hydrogen’s application in decarbonising industries is gaining traction and in the backdrop of the Ministry of Steel’s recently released green steel taxonomy, which provides a framework to classify steel based on its emission intensity. The report by CSTEP examines the potential role of hydrogen application in decarbonising the steel and cement industry, which contribute to about 11% and 7% of global CO2 emissions, respectively. The study provides a series of options that can be incorporated alongside hydrogen to further amplify emissions reduction. The report also proposes improvements and policy measures to aid hydrogen use in steel and cement manufacturing units.
