JSW Steel partners with Icelandic firms to advance green methanol bioenergy project in India
In India, BioEnergy Times reported that JSW Steel has signed a strategic agreement with Bharatia and Carbon Iceland International to explore the development of a large-scale green methanol (eMethanol) project in India.
The proposed project, with a planned capacity of 300,000 tons per annum, will utilize carbon dioxide emissions generated from JSW Steel’s operations in Raigad district, Maharashtra, and convert them into green methanol using renewable hydrogen. The initiative is expected to create a pathway for transforming industrial emissions into clean fuel and chemical feedstocks, according to the report.
Under the proposed model, carbon dioxide captured from steel manufacturing operations will be combined with green hydrogen produced from renewable energy sources to generate eMethanol, a low-carbon fuel increasingly viewed as an important component of future bioenergy and clean shipping ecosystems, it added.
