The Union Steel Minister will virtually inaugurate the company’s green
hydrogen project, according to officials.
With the inauguration, JSL will become India’s first stainless steel
company to install such kind of plant on a commercial scale, the officials
said.
“This project is a
state-of-the-art green hydrogen facility with a target to reduce carbon
emissions considerably by around 2,700 metric tonne per annum and 54,000 tonne
Co2 emissions over 20 years,” one of the officials said without divulging more
information.
In August 2022, the country’s largest stainless steel player had
announced a partnership with Hygenco India Private Limited to set up a green
hydrogen plant at Hisar, Haryana.
“As a first, the green hydrogen plant will catalyze our transition from
thermal to clean energy in the Indian manufacturing space. Going forward, we
will continue our ESG (environmental, social and governance) efforts to achieve
net zero emissions and power conservation,” JSL MD Abhyuday Jindal had said.
