ResponsibleSteel hosting event at upcoming 14th Clean Energy Ministerial in Goa

ResponsibleSteel is hosting a critical meeting at the upcoming 14th Clean Energy Ministerial (CEM14) demonstrating the role of the ResponsibleSteel International Standard in impacting policy, finance and the energy transition to accelerate decarbonisation in India’s steel industry at pace and scale. The event will take place from 9:00 to 10:30 am (IST) on Saturday, July 22nd.

India is the second-largest producer of steel after China and according to the IEA, the Indian steel industry is projected to triple by 2050. Currently, the steel industry accounts for around 12% of India’s emissions. The country’s push to meet its net zero targets will rely heavily on the decarbonisation of its steel sector. That is why ResponsibleSteel will bring together key stakeholders from government, downstream, and the steel industry to discuss the challenges and solutions needed to achieve an equitable and just transition in India.

The event will feature keynotes from Shri. Nagendra Nath Sinha, Secretary for the Indian Ministry of Steel, Shri. Alok Sahay, Secretary General & Executive Head of the Indian Steel Association, and Annie Heaton, CEO of ResponsibleSteel, as well as a panel discussion between representatives from the Ministry of Steel, JSW Steel, and SteelZero.

Topics of discussion will include:

- The main challenges facing the Indian steel industry as it moves to a “greener” future

- The role the ResponsibleSteel Standard and certification programme can play to help accelerate the decarbonisation of India’s steel industry

- The importance of driving alignment on frameworks and near-zero definitions

- The investments, innovations and new policies needed to speed up a decarbonised future
