ClosedEarthON FoundationIndia

EarthON Foundation and Greenovation Hub run the challenge jointly, with WWF, IGSN and the Rajiva Sinha Foundation as partners, aligning it with India's National Action Plan on Climate Change and its 2070 net-zero target; steel accounts for 7-9% of global CO2 emissions, and India is targeting 300 million tonnes of steel production by 2030. Selected pilots get access to live industrial testbeds in W

The Greenovation Green Steel Challenge backs Indian innovators decarbonising steel production, spanning energy-efficient process optimisation, renewable energy integration, scrap value chain improvements, hydrogen-based steelmaking, carbon capture and other emissions-reduction technologies. It targets solutions at prototype, pilot-tested or market-ready stage that are scalable for the MSME steel sector and ready for industrial implementation.
