Jindal Stainless Advances Green Hydrogen for Sustainable Steel Production
Jindal Stainless is scaling its green hydrogen pilot at the Hisar facility to enhance sustainability in steel production. The initiative aims to reduce emissions significantly while navigating the complexities of cost and technology adaptation in the transition to net-zero.

Jindal Stainless is expanding its green hydrogen use, moving from cracked ammonia to hydrogen produced via electrolyzers powered by renewable energy at its Hisar facility. This transition entails new engineering systems, enhanced safety protocols, and workforce training.
The company aims to cut emissions by over 140,000 tonnes through a portfolio approach focusing on energy efficiency, waste heat recovery, and renewable energy. Challenges remain, particularly related to the upstream production of nickel and chromium, which is carbon-intensive, and the need for stable energy sources. The future adoption of green steel in India's Viksit Bharat 2047 vision hinges on government policies promoting green procurement in infrastructure projects.
