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.
