One of 5,043 projects Taiyo tracks in Odisha.
Source: Enlit World
A world-first demonstration project led by Australia's CSIRO in partnership with India uses agricultural waste, specifically rice husks, to reduce emissions in iron ore processing. The project involves substituting 5% to 10% of coal with biomass pellets made from rice husks in the gasification process at Jindal Steel's steelmaking facility in Odisha, India. This approach aims to decarbonise iron o

Description
Description | A world-first demonstration project led by Australia's CSIRO in partnership with India uses agricultural waste, specifically rice husks, to reduce emissions in iron ore processing. The project involves substituting 5% to 10% of coal with biomass pellets made from rice husks in the gasification process at Jindal Steel's steelmaking facility in Odisha, India. This approach aims to decarbonise iron ore processing suitable for India's unique iron ore type and reduce emissions while providing economic incentives to local farmers and regional steelmakers. |
