According to the India\u2019s third Biennial Update report, iron and steel industry is fifth largest GHG emitter, contributed 134.73 million tonnes of CO2 in 2016, accounting for 4.75% of the total emissions (without LULUCF). With the growing demand for steel, emissions are expected to increase in future.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">IRADe is carrying out a study on <strong>\u201cLong-term decarbonization strategies for the Indian steel\u00a0sector\u00a0with hydrogen as one option\u201d<\/strong>. In developing a long-term decarbonisation pathway, one needs to consider all possible upcoming abatement technologies with hydrogen as one option as decarbonisation also needs to be achieved in most cost efficient manner to supply least cost steel to fuel country\u2019s economic growth. Even partial decarbonisation technologies also need to be considered which may offer low cost emissions reduction in the short and medium term.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Key objective of the project is:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Developing long-term least cost decarbonisation strategies for the Indian steel industry, a hard to abate sector, using hydrogen as one option<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Specific tasks involve: Assessment of<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\r\n<ul>\r\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hydrogen demand potential (2020-2060);<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hydrogen supply infrastructure requirement (e.g centralised production vs. onsite production);<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Cost of hydrogen supply and steel production using hydrogen and non-hydrogen based steel making zero-carbon\/less carbon technologies;<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Least cost decarbonisation strategies for the steel suppply in India, technology roadmap and costs of decarbonisation;<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Investment needed for transition (hydrogen and steel infrastructure);<\/span><\/li>\r\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Identifications of barriers, formulating policies and institutional framework promoting hydrogen for decarbonised steel making.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Time frame<\/strong> of the analysis is 2018-2070.<\/span><\/p>\r\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Methodology:<\/strong> \u00a0IRADe\u2019s macro-economic model projects the steel demand of the country consistent with country\u2019s economic growth and other macro-economic parameters.
