Awareness regarding carbon emissions and taking a step ahead in achieving sustainable goals is the primary concern for manufacturing industries. Carbon emissions from manufacturing industries prominently contribute to the greenhouse gas generated throughout the world. According to the World Steel Association, the steel industry generated 3 billion tons of CO2 in 2021. CO2 emissions from the steel industry alone contribute to ~7–9% of overall greenhouse gas emissions, leading to a huge impact on the climate. Various government bodies are taking initiatives to reduce carbon emission levels to achieve a sustainable future. The hydrogen-based technology for ironmaking is one such process for nullifying carbon emissions by replacing coke and fossil fuel in traditional blast furnace-based steelmaking.
