Latest report says that whereas the iron and steel sector generally generate 8% of the world's yearly carbon dioxide emissions, it makes up 12% of the total CO2 emissions in India. Keeping in mind the agreements made at the COP26 climate change summit, the Indian steel sector must significantly reduce its emissions. India’s Ministry of Steel has asked the stakeholders to create a time-bound action plan to reduce emissions in the steel industry in accordance with the government's COP26 pledges and issued an invitation for R&D Proposals 2022-23. Ministry of Steel is seeking R&D Project proposals in joint collaborative mode from reputed Academic Institutions, Research Laboratories and Steel Companies for pursuing R&D projects for development of new alternate processes & technologies to address the burning issues faced by the Iron & Steel Sector such as climate change, green steel production, H2 based steel production, CCUS etc, waste utilization, & resource efficiency etc for providing financial assistance under the R&D Scheme "Promotion of Research & Development in Iron & Steel Sector. Last date for receipt of R&D Proposals for FY 2022-23 is 15th July 2022.The objective of the scheme is to promote Research & Development in the Iron & Steel Sector by providing financial support to the stakeholders to address the R&D needs of national importance. The thrust areas for providing support are as under:Development of innovative & path breaking technologies for utilization of iron ore fines and non-coking coalBeneficiation of raw materials like iron ore, coal etc and agglomerationImprovement in quality of steel produced through the various routes of steel making including the Induction Furnace routeDevelopment of commercially viable technology for utilization of steel plant and mine wastes including LD/EAF/IF SlagR&D for achieving global benchmarks in Productivity, Quality, Raw material consumption, Energy consumption, Water consumption, Refractory consumption etcDevelopment of Low carbon technologies for reduction in GHG emissionDevelopment of innovative technology for effective recovery of waste heat in different iron & steel making processes including downstream processesTo pursue R&D on steel intensive design of building/ bridges & structures with an aim to increase usage & consumption of steelDevelopment of innovative solutions for addressing the challenges faced by the iron & steel industryTo pursue R&D on any other subject of national importance concerning the Iron & Steel sector
