India's transition to green steel production may help avoid nearly $1 trillion in long-term coking coal import costs, according to a report from the India Energy and Climate Center. This shift could enhance India's export market position and mitigate currency volatility risks associated with traditional steelmaking methods.
The report warns that continuing with conventional blast furnace methods could lead to six billion tonnes of coal imports over the next 40 years, locking India into high costs.
This strategic decision point emphasizes the importance of adopting green technologies in the steel sector.
