- (c) whether the Government is working to promote the sources of new and renewable energy for production of Steel and if so, the details thereof?

## ANSWER

(SHRI RAM CHANDRA PRASAD SINGH)

- (a) Over the years the Indian steel industry has reduced its energy consumption and carbon emissions substantially with the widespread adoption of Best Available Technologies  in  the  modernisation  &  expansions  projects.  The  average  CO2 emission  intensity of  the  Indian  steel  industry  has  reduced  from  around  3.1 Tonne/tonne of crude steel (T/tcs) in 2005 to around 2.6 T/tcs by 2020.
- (b) To  mitigate  and  adapt  to  the  adverse  impact  of  climate  change  India  has introduced various measures under the umbrella of National Action Plan for Climate Change (NAPCC). National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency (NMEEE) is one of the eight missions under NAPCC.

The Perform Achieve & Trade (PAT) is a flagship scheme under NMEEE. It is a  market  based  mechanism  for  enhancing  energy  efficiency,  under  which  specific targets  of  energy  savings  are  set.    Those  achieving  the  set  targets  are  awarded Energy Saving Certificates (ESCerts), each equal to 1 Metric Tonne of Oil Equivalent. Those unable to meet their assigned targets are required to purchase ESCerts from the overachievers through a centralised online trading mechanism. The Indian steel industry  is  an  important  stakeholder  under  the  PAT  Scheme.  The Steel sector has been able to achieve the total targeted energy savings from PAT Cycles PAT-I, PATII & PAT-III for the period from 2012- 20 to the tune of 5.5 MTOE (Million Tonne of Oil Equivalent) and corresponding CO2 reduction of 20 Million tonne.

- (c) The  steel  sector  has  adopted  the  Best  Available  Technologies  available globally, in the modernisation & expansions projects.

Further,  the  steel  sector  has  been  made  an  important  stakeholder  in  the National Green Hydrogen Energy Mission to facilitate deployment of green hydrogen in the iron & steel making process. Under this initiative it has been proposed to set up two Pilot  Plants  under  the  Public  &  Private  Partnership  to  explore  the feasibility  of using green H2 in Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) production.
