JSW Steel, a leading Indian steelmaker, has announced a strategic partnership with global mining giant BHP and innovative carbon capture technology provider Carbon Clean.
The collaboration aims to expedite the development and deployment of carbon capture solutions within the steelmaking industry.
India’s steel sector, a significant contributor to the nation’s economy, has faced increasing pressure to reduce its carbon footprint.
With greenhouse gas emissions from steel production at 12% of India’s total, there is an urgent need for more sustainable practices.
The partnership will focus on exploring the potential of Carbon Clean’s CycloneCC technology to capture and store up to 100,000 metric tons of carbon emissions annually from JSW Steel ‘s operations.
This innovative solution offers a promising path towards decarbonizing the steelmaking process.
