Steel Decarbonisation in India Based on analysis, India’s steel sector decarbonisation trajectory until 2070 to be the following: 📍 Up to 2030: The sector is likely to see a reduction in the share of coal-based technologies, i.e., BF/BOF and #coal-based DRI-EAF/Electric Induction Furnace (EIF) route from 92% in 2021 to 70% by 2030. This transition is possible by replacing coal-based DRI process in EAF technologies with green hydrogen. Several pilot projects and trials for green hydrogen projects started in India in 2020. By 2030, #green #hydrogen production is likely to start on a commercial scale in India. 📍 2030 to 2050: In this period, green hydrogen projects will be deployed on a large scale across India due to high demand. This is likely to phase out coal-based routes like BF/BOF and DRI-EAF at a faster pace. #IEEFA and #JMKResearch estimate that the #steel industry will replace around 25-30% of its grey hydrogen requirements with green hydrogen. This will increase to 80% by 2050. 📍 From 2050-2070: During this time, large projects using the green hydrogen-based route will be available across India, and the cost of green hydrogen will be significantly reduced due to a highly competitive market. The green hydrogen-based route is, therefore, likely to completely replace coal and natural gas-based conventional technology.

NTP is constructing a hydrogen fueling station, and a solar power plant, and issuing 05 Nos. fuel cell buses for use on Leh's inner-city routes in an effort to achieve a carbon-neutral Ladakh. The first hydrogen bus in India arrived in Leh on 17 August after a three-month process of field trials, roadworthiness tests, and other legal requirements. This will mark the first of hydrogen buses to public highways in India. At 11,562 feet, the first-of-its-kind Green Hydrogen Mobility Project is situated alongside a 1.7 MW solar power plant that is specifically intended to provide green energy. This project's distinctive characteristic is that the fuel cell buses are made to operate in the sub-zero temperatures and rarefied atmosphere typical of such high altitude settings.

A week ago, I had the privilege of attending the 6th International Oil and Gas Chemistry, Chemical, and Additives Conference - IOGCA 2023 held in Pandit Deendayal Energy University. This conference provided a unique opportunity to hear from some of the foremost experts in the chemical industry, including: 1.) Dr. O.P Sinha from ONGC 2.) Vipul Kumar Maheshwari from HPCL 3.) Anil Bharadwaj (Convener of IOGCA) 4.) RakshVir Jasra Jasra from Reliance Industries 5.) Dr. Sundaram Manoharan (Director General of Pandit Deendayal Energy University) During the conference, several impactful insights were shared, and I'd like to highlight a few key takeaways: • The Oil and Gas Industry is evolving and embracing technology as it moves forward. • Dr. Raksh Vir Jasra delved into critical topics shaping the future, such as achieving carbon-free energy options by 2050. He emphasized the three pillars for carbon-free energy: Social, Energy, and Climate. Additionally, he discussed the challenges and opportunities in hydrogen production, categorizing it into unsustainable and sustainable forms. Reliance's vision to achieve Net Carbon Zero by 2035 was also a noteworthy highlight, along with the discussion on technological disruptions in the refinery sector. • Dr. Vipul Maheshwari from HPCL addressed the imperative of pursuing a greener path through Green Chemistry and underscored India's commitment to sustainable growth. Upon reflection, two significant insights emerged from this conference: India's rapid growth trajectory is even more promising than it appears. The chemical industry is actively transitioning towards renewable and sustainable energy solutions, signifying a positive shift towards a greener and more responsible future. The knowledge and perspectives gained from IOGCA 2023 have left me inspired and optimistic about the future of our industry and our collective commitment to sustainability. #IOGCA2023 #ChemicalIndustry #Sustainability #RenewableEnergy #FutureOutlook

Thank you to Saurav Mitra Upma Koul and the whole Sumitomo SHI FW team for the invitation to speak at this discussion on LDES. As I made the remark on the panel, future energy systems are going to need a range of diverse solutions. (My current model has 2, 6, 24 and 100 hour storage for optimal system costs). Shorter duration, low $/kW, high round-trip efficiency and rapid response is required for peaking support, while for diurnal and seasonal storage, low $/kWh is the most crucial parameter. It is not either/or but both/and. Sumitomo's Liquid Air Energy Storage Solution is an innovative approach to ensuring Variable Renewables can provide firm renewable power and, together with other solutions, makes 100% RE possible. Furthermore, the extra heat from the process can also help decarbonize industrial heat. It is crucial to compare the cost of RE + LDES to fossil fuels on a system basis and ensure we are implementing the most affordable, resilient solutions, rather than focus on a single parameter. Onward and Upward! #LDES #energystorage

𝐈𝐭'𝐬 𝐚 𝟔𝟎,𝟎𝟎𝟎 𝐂𝐫 (𝐈𝐍𝐑) 𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲!! . . India's Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEFCC) has implemented stringent norms for SO2 emissions from coal-fired power plants. This has mandated retrofitting existing plants with FGD (Flue Gas Desulfurization) systems by 2026. This policy creates a large-scale requirement for FGD systems, estimated to be around 166 GW. GE Power India has a specific strategy to capture the FGD market opportunity in India, leveraging their existing strengths and the Indian market dynamics. Here's a breakdown of their approach: ➡️ GE Power India holds a technology license agreement with GE for FGD systems. This allows them to utilize GE's proven technology while focusing on domestic execution and project management ➡️ GE Power India might be strategically focusing on the segment of Independent Power Producers (IPP) and captive power plants (around 66 GW) where they can operate independently without needing further support from GE. ➡️ GE Power India has established in-house engineering capabilities to execute FGD projects in India. ➡️ GE Power India has stated that they will prioritize FGD projects that are financially attractive, focusing on positive cash flow and maintaining a healthy profit margin. By capitalizing on their strengths and adapting to the Indian market dynamics, GE Power India has a good chance of capturing a significant share of the growing FGD market in the country. #business #finance #power #stockmarket
