SAIL signs memorandum of understanding with BHP

07 Oct 2024 Evaluate

Steel Authority of India (SAIL) has signed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with global resources company -- BHP to work on strategies for low-emission steel manufacturing technologies. Both companies signed the memorandum of understanding to support decarbonisation in steel making. 

This collaboration is an important step for SAIL and BHP in promoting lower carbon steelmaking technology pathways for the blast furnace route in India. Under this MoU, the parties are already exploring a number of workstreams supporting the potential decarbonisation at SAIL's integrated steel plants which operate blast furnaces (BF) with an initial study to assess various strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG).

These workstreams will consider the role of alternate reductants such as the use of hydrogen and biochar for blast furnaces, to build local research and development capability to support the decarbonisation transition.

SAIL is India’s largest steel producing company. The company is among the five Maharatnas of the country’s Central Public Sector Enterprises. The company has five integrated steel plants, three special plants, and one subsidiary in different parts of the country.
