Understanding India’s Green Steel Taxonomy What Manufacturers Need to Know

 
 

Why This Matters for Manufacturers?
India’s Green Steel Taxonomy isn’t just a policy it’s a competitive edge. With steel demand rising and global trade pressures like the EU’s CBAM, manufacturers must adapt now to stay ahead. Here’s what you need to know:

Key Requirements for Compliance
Emission Threshold: Steel must emit <2.2 t-CO2e/tfs to qualify. Higher emissions = no green rating. Scope of Emissions: Covers Scope 1, 2, and limited Scope 3 (up to production, excluding transport). Star Rating: Reviewed every 3 years. Annual certification by NISST (nodal agency). Production Routes: Prioritize DRI, EAF, or CCUS-integrated processes. Energy Sources: Shift to renewables, green hydrogen, or solar (aligned with National Solar Mission). Scrap & Recycling: Boost use of secondary steel (high recycled content). Government Support & Opportunities Funding: ₹455 crore allocated for green hydrogen pilot projects (till FY 2029-30). Collaborations: Partnerships with global tech leaders (Australia, Germany) and Indian IITs. Roadmap: Ministry of Steel’s action plan targets net-zero by 2070, with phased milestones. Immediate Actions for Manufacturers ✅ Audit emissions using LCA methodologies. ✅ Transition to renewable energy and green hydrogen. ✅ Align with EU CBAM and global standards (WSA, Responsible Steel). ✅ Engage with NISST for yearly certification and star ratings. The Future is Green Steel India’s steel sector contributes 10–12% of national emissions. Decarbonizing isn’t optional it’s a strategic necessity for growth, compliance, and climate leadership.
