JSW Steel is scaling up its low-carbon steel production capacity as part of a strategic move to align with the European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), which will impose carbon tariffs on imported steel starting 2026.
The company is investing heavily in energy-efficient technologies, waste heat recovery systems, and green power integration across its Indian and overseas operations. These initiatives aim to lower carbon intensity and maintain export competitiveness in Europe — one of JSW’s key markets.
Officials said the company is targeting a 42% reduction in CO₂ emissions intensity by 2030, in line with global decarbonization goals. JSW is also exploring hydrogen-based steelmaking, carbon capture, and recycled scrap utilization to further reduce emissions.
With Europe accounting for a significant portion of JSW’s exports, the shift toward green steel is seen as essential to avoid carbon penalties and strengthen relationships with sustainability-focused clients.
Industry experts view this as a proactive step that positions JSW Steel among India’s leading low-carbon steel producers, ensuring long-term growth amid evolving climate regulations.
