Tata Steel becomes 'India's 1st' to develop hydrogen transportation pipes
Notable because
The achievement marks a watershed moment in the development of hydrogen transportation infrastructure in India, particularly considering green hydrogen’s vital role in the envisioned low-carbon transition of the Indian economy.
Furthermore, the complete in-house development of the technology – from design to the production of hot-rolled steel and transportation pipes, highlights India’s capability to indigenously develop critical energy infrastructure.
What to look out for in the months ahead
Considering the economics of bulk transportation of green hydrogen via steel pipelines for industrial use, will this breakthrough help lower the cost of green hydrogen and boost demand from hard-to-abate sectors?
What steps will Tata Steel take to scale up the commercialWhat steps will Tata Steel take to scale up the commercial production of transportation pipelines? Will it seek funding from the National Green Hydrogen Mission?
