Workgroup 4

Green Steel, Metals and Mining

Global Trends

The steel sector is leveraging hydrogen use to decarbonise steel production, expecting it to be among the first sectors to commercialise green hydrogen, to reduce carbon emissions in line with India's climate change ambitions and national commitments made in the Paris Agreement. Steel majors are working with other sectors and the H2@Scale Workgroup 3 to ensure steel clusters have renewable energy access and hydrogen value-chain links for economies of scale. Switching from thermal and natural gas to renewable hydrogen is driving decarbonisation in the steel and cement sectors. A number of hydrogen projects by steel majors as well as industry consortia are currently underway in Europe such as Clean Steel Partnership, Hydrogen Green Platform, HYBRIT project in Sweden etc.The G20 countries, producing 85% of the world’s steel, are actively pursuing low-carbon steel standards too. The 2023 G20 Standards Dialogue focused on sustainable standardisation, with G20 countries cooperating towards internationally agreed definitions, standards, and certifications for low-carbon steel. Launched in 2023, the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) enhances Asia-Europe connectivity, stimulates economic growth, and rebalances EU-China relations. It links states with high production capacity and investment potential.

Path to USD 5 Billion National Hydrogen Hubs by 2030

India Hydrogen Alliance (IH2A) has submitted a National Green Hydrogen Hub Economic Viability and Development Plan to the Government of India (Prime Minister’s Office, Cabinet Secretariat and Ministry of New and Renewable Energy), detailing the potential to create five large National Green Hydrogen Corporations collectively worth USD 5 bn by 2030, through public-private partnerships.The Plan seeks public finance support for production and offtake to create the necessary infrastructure in the initial 2024-2030 period, and publicly list the national hydrogen corporations created to fund the next wave of investments to scale up the hydrogen economy.To read more, click on the link below:IH2A USD 5 bn National Green Hydrogen Hubs by 2030 - GKH2 as a Financially Viable H2 Hub - June 7 2023

National 25/25 Green Hydrogen Development Plan

India Hydrogen Alliance (IH2A) has proposed a 25/25 National Green Hydrogen Hub Development Plan for creation of 25 National Green Hydrogen Projects and Five National H2 Hubs by 2025. The plan seeks to develop first-generation green hydrogen projects, with public finance support of USD 360 million over next three years; create a National Hydrogen Development Corporation and public-private hydrogen taskforce.   READ HERE

IH2A Position

IH2A is collaborating with key ore and steel producing states, the Steel Industry, and the Ministry of Steel to articulate a decarbonisation pathway for increasing hydrogen use in steelmaking. In April 2023, the Ministry of Steel had setup 13 task forces to deliberate various aspects of green steel and create an action plan for decarbonization of the sector. IH2A has been a part of the task force on Green Hydrogen.

IH2A expects Green Steel, Metals and Mining are important to reduce carbon gradually, replacing fossil fuel use in industrial processes. In Steel Making, this could take the form of H2 as a reducing agent in DRI projects, for use in Electric Arc Furnaces (EAFs), and greater H2 injection in legacy Blast Furnaces (BFs). With EU Carbon Border Adjusted Mechanism (CBAM) kicking off into transitionary period from 2023, steel exports into EU will be significantly curtailed unless Indian plants can meet the carbon emissions targets as set under CBAM. Carbon emission measurement and standardization for Green Steel is an imperative for India, making the Steel and Metals sector a key offtake industry for Green H2.

Green Steel will be at a premium to non-green steel, and there needs to be a ready market of customers who will pay the green premium. This creates a responsibility for Green Steel procurement by end-use sectors such as a automobile OEMs and other speciality steel buyers. Without concerted actions and a willingness to pay the green premium, Steel Makers will face a high economic hurdle in embracing faster decarbonization.
