India-Sweden Collaboration: A Step Towards Decarbonising Steel and Cement

Leading Indian and Swedish companies are launching innovative projects to decarbonise India's steel and cement sectors. These initiatives aim to reduce emissions, fostering infrastructure and industrial growth while supporting India's net-zero goal by 2070. The projects involve hydrogen use, slag recycling, and AI deployment.

Leading Indian companies like Tata Steel have partnered with Swedish technology innovators to launch seven cutting-edge projects. The initiative aims to decarbonise key sectors like steel and cement, which are vital for India's infrastructure growth.

As India progresses toward its 2070 net-zero emissions target, these collaborative projects address emissions reductions in challenging industries. The focus includes integrating hydrogen in steelmaking, recycling steel slag into green cement, and adopting AI for cement sector decarbonisation.

Supported by India's Department of Science and Technology and the Swedish Energy Agency, these projects involve top Indian and global firms and academic institutions, working together to make significant strides toward a sustainable future.
