New Delhi: Expressing concern over high amount of
carbon emissions from the domestic iron and steel sector, steel minister Ram Chandra Prasad Singh on Friday urged industry stakeholders to come together and develop an
action plan to address the issue. The iron and steel sector is challenging with
regard to reduction in carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions, the minister said at the
meeting of the parliamentary consultative committee for the ministry of steel
held in Shimla, according to an official statement issued here.
During the meeting on 'transition towards green
steel', he said the emissions from the Indian iron and steel industry is higher primarily due to higher usage of coal-based
energy source and as reductant.
"The minister urged the stakeholders to come
together in the development of a time-bound action plan and concerted efforts
for lowering of the emissions from the steel industry...," the statement
said.
