The inclusion of India’s leading steel player, JSW Steel, is a significant boon to the group with steel and cement having been identified as a priority industrial sector for decarbonisation, where hydrogen could be adopted early on. JSW Steel’s Chief Sustainability Officer Mr Prabodha Acharya said “JSW Group is uniquely placed to lead on green hydrogen topic as we have significant interests in steel, cement, and renewable energy. As the IH2A Work Group Lead for Steel and Cement, we will bring other industry majors and the government together to build consensus for a common path towards hydrogen commercialization in the steel and cement sectors. Green steel as hydrogen product exports can be a national strategy for taking leadership in the global hydrogen value chain by embedding hydrogen in the industrial supply chain. This is a leadership opportunity.”
