JSW Steel Ltd, India’s second-largest maker of the alloy, plans to establish a green steel manufacturing facility by 2030 as part of its response to the EU's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), said Jayant Acharya, joint managing director and chief executive.
“We are looking to set up a lower carbon-emitting facility for steel in the western part of India, subject to board approval. With this, we will be able to provide low-carbon steel for both the international and domestic markets," Acharya said in an interview.
“It will have a capacity of 4 million tonnes (mt), and the plan is to start production by 2030. We are trying to complete it in two parts. We will do phase I (up to 2 mt) just before 2030, and the remaining construction will be going on and may spill over by one or two years." JSW’s investment for the facility will be in addition to the ₹10,000 crore the company had announced for its green energy transition plans, Acharya added.
As part of its expansion plan, the firm plans to increase capacity from the current 28 mt to 50 mt by 2050. The (proposed) green steel unit will be separate from the ₹10,000 crore electric arc furnace plant based on direct reduced iron (DRI) technology. The company is also in the process of adding 8.5 mt within two years to reach a capacity of 37 mt, Acharya said.
