Jindal Steel Pivots to Syngas to Combat Natural Gas Shortages

Jindal Steel & Power Ltd. has initiated the use of syngas, or synthesis gas, as a fuel source in its steel production furnaces. This strategic move addresses ongoing shortages of conventional industrial fuels like natural gas and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG). Syngas, typically produced from coal or biomass, provides a viable alternative that enhances the company's operational resilience. The initiative aligns with broader goals of improving energy self-reliance and promoting more sustainable manufacturing processes within the steel sector. By deploying this technology, Jindal Steel aims to secure a more stable and potentially cost-effective energy supply for its core steelmaking operations.
