Workshop on Decarbonizing India's Iron and Steel Sector by 2030 and Beyond

Date: February 28, 2023

Iron and steel is a hard to abate sector, but also critical as it contributes to both economic development in countries and global greenhouse gas emissions. India is the second largest producer of crude steel in the world and plans to almost double its production by 2030. Under a business as usual scenario, the CO2 emissions from crude steel production are estimated to grow 2.5 times by 2030, contributing more than 5 percent of the country’s ghg emissions. Thus, the sector needs a set of impactful pathways to evolve into a low carbon yet a growing manufacturing sector.

Understanding the significance of the issue, Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) recently published its report “Decarbonizing India: Iron and Steel Sector” and has decided to conduct a one-day workshop to discuss the findings of the report along with the possible pathways to decarbonize India's iron and steel sector by 2030 and beyond. The workshop will hold discussions on options of fuel shift, low carbon technology, energy efficiency, increasing generation and usage of steel scrap and carbon capture utilization and storage for the Indian iron and steel sector. The workshop will have national and international steel sector experts, stakeholders from the government, steel companies, industrial associations and corporations, regulatory authorities, industrial consultants, and others.
