Open-cast iron ore mining is vital for the global economy, providing the raw material for steel production. It is cost-effective and allows for the efficient extraction of large ore quantities within shorter timeframes compared to underground mining. However, open-cast mining can have significant environmental impacts. Open-cast iron ore mining is …
Coal India Ltd (CIL) is a government-owned coal mining company. In the financial year (FY) ending 2021, the company reported total GHG emissions of around 5 million tonnes CO2 equivalents (MtCO2eq), up 4% from FY2020. Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions are the three categories of GHG emissions. Scope 1 emissions are direct emissions from …
Decarbonizing India's Iron and Steel Sector report. The iron and steel sector is a hard-to-abate sector in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, but it is an equally critical contributor to the economic development of the country. India is the second largest producer of crude steel in the world and plans to almost triple its production by 2030.

The iron and steel industry landscape in India. India is a fast-growing country in Asia with a population expected to overtake China's by the mid-2020s and its Gross Domestic Product (GDP) increasing more than sixfold since the early 1990s [1]. India is the world's second-largest steel producer, producing about 5% of global production [1, …
1. Introduction. Approximately 50% of world uranium production uses the in-situ recovery (ISR) technique (WNA, 2018; OECD-NEA and IAEA, 2020).ISR mining is defined as the extraction of a metal (e.g. uranium) from its host formation by the circulation of leaching solutions (alkaline or acid) using injection and extraction wells (Lagneau et …
This report has been developed to showcase the status of the iron and steel sector in India with respect to decarbonisation and various steps taken by multiple companies to …
We take this broader view of greening steel which means decarbonizing and reducing the environmental footprint of the steel production process drastically; all towards a goal of net zero.
Iron ore makes up 5% of the earth's crust and is the second most abundant metal after aluminum. World crude iron ore resources exceed 800 billion tons and are estimated to contain more than 230 billion tons of iron, dominated by low-grade ore. Iron ore is mined in 50 countries, of which the seven largest
Beyond increasing production, mining companies are investing more in different technologies that reduce their environmental impact and give visibility into operations to make sustainable choices.
As per International Energy Agency (IEA) estimates, India's total emissions from energy use in 2018 were 2,251 MtCO 2 (metric tons of carbon-dioxide).
