India's heavy reliance on coal and low scrap utilization (9–13% compared to global averages of 20–30%) contributes to this challenge. Key decarbonization pathways include transitioning to green hydrogen, capable of reducing emissions to 0.75 tCO₂/tfs by 2030, integrating wind-solar hybrid renewable energy, adopting energy-efficient technologies, and utilizing carbon capture and storage (CCUS).  The transition to green steel faces challenges. Producing green hydrogen at economically viable prices and establishing renewable energy infrastructure to support the sector are imperative.

Additionally, transitioning to green hydrogen-based steelmaking demands significant investment, with costs estimated at USD 3 billion per Mtpa—three times higher than conventional methods. #GreenSteel #Decarbonization #GreenHydrogen #RenewableEnergy #NetZero #CleanEnergy #SteelDecarbonization Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) Green Hydrogen Organisation - GH2 Indo-German Energy Forum (IGEF-SO) Hydrogen Europe GIZ India Indian Steel Association 𝗦𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀: PIB, Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW)

🌏 Our APAC Wrap has landed and in it we discuss how the Asia Pacific region, home to over half the world’s population, is critical to achieving net zero emissions globally. With accelerating renewables deployment essential, green hydrogen stands out as a solution for decarbonising hard-to-abate sectors. Read our weekly wrap to learn more on: 🔹 Japan: Launch of a USD 20 billion CfD scheme to support low-carbon hydrogen, focusing on challenging-to-decarbonise sectors. 🔹 South Korea: Mixed results from its first clean hydrogen power auction, with limited uptake for ammonia co-firing projects. 🔹 Australia: Introduction of a hydrogen tax incentive to spur green hydrogen projects, with a focus on green iron and steel for global decarbonisation. Join us for the Asia Pacific Green Hydrogen Alliance Virtual Meeting on 16 December, where we'll delve into these developments and explore innovative projects from across the region. 👉 Register now and help us scale the green hydrogen ecosystem in APAC! https://lnkd.in/dHUHQPkB #GreenHydrogen #NetZero #AsiaPacific #HydrogenInnovation Breakthrough Energy | Tara Climate Foundation | Renewable Energy Institute | Smart Energy Council | Rifan Bachtiar | Mickey Langley | Joe Williams | Jonas Moberg | Simran SINHA | Sam Bartlett | Vanina Morrison

This week Jonas Moberg, CEO of the Green Hydrogen Organisation (GH2), recently inspired students at the Geneva Graduate Institute during the Executive Certificate in the Nature-Positive Economy module. He highlighted the transformative potential of green hydrogen as a cornerstone of a sustainable future. Key insights included: 🔹 How green hydrogen and e-fuels can power critical industries, from renewable energy to sustainable shipping. 🔹 The role of major players like China, India, the US, and the EU in advancing green hydrogen adoption. 🔹 The importance of vertical integration in scaling renewable energy and green hydrogen projects. 🔹 Projections for shipping, with green ammonia expected to dominate (240 of 300 million tonnes by 2040).  Education is pivotal in equipping individuals with the skills needed to thrive in a sustainable economy, enabling careers in renewable energy, smart agriculture, and resource-efficient urban design. Most importantly, education fosters a shift in how we act and think—strengthening our collective responsibility to build a greener future. #GreenHydrogen #Sustainability Geneva Graduate Institute | Executive Education Gilles Carbonnier Marie Laure SALLES Rifan Bachtiar | Mickey Langley | Joe Williams | Jonas Moberg | Simran SINHA | Sam Bartlett | Vanina Morrison
