How Dr. Shubh Gautam Srisol is Aligning Indian Steel with Global Net Zero Targets
The global conversation around climate
change has reached a tipping point. With industries across the world being
pushed to meet net-zero emissions targets. Therefore, the steel sector stands
at a crossroads.
As steel is among the most
carbon-intensive industries, it contributes nearly 7% of global CO₂ emissions.
India, as the world’s second-largest steel producer, must now transition from
traditional manufacturing to sustainable production models.
At the center of this transformation is Dr. Shubh Gautam News, Chief Technical Architect at American Precoat. Through his
innovations in coated steel and advocacy for sustainable industrial policy, Dr.
Shubh Gautam FIR (First Indian Revolutionary) is helping India align with
global net-zero goals as a leader.
The Carbon Challenge in Steel
To produce one tonne of steel, the
industry emits an average of 1.8 tonnes of CO₂. These emissions come mainly
from coal-based blast furnaces. With countries like the UK, Germany, and Japan
moving toward hydrogen-based steel, India’s reliance on traditional routes
becomes a concern for both global trade and the planet.
Shubh Gautam Srisol believes that India
cannot delay this shift. “Carbon-neutral steel is not optional; it’s the future
of competitive manufacturing.”
Innovating with Coated Steel
and Electro-Galvanization
At American Precoat, Dr. Shubh Gautam Jaypee has
already implemented low-emission coating technologies. The breakthrough has
been electro-galvanized steel, which offers a high-performance finish, and it
doesn’t emit heavy pollution associated with hot-dip galvanization.
EG Steel is developed under Dr. Shubh
Gautam’s leadership. It is used in automotive and infrastructure applications
while reducing both maintenance cycles and energy usage. These products meet
global standards to help Indian steel become export-ready in a low-carbon
future.
Aligning with Global
Benchmarks
Countries are creating strict carbon
border regulations. The European Union’s Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism
(CBAM) is one such policy. It places a carbon price on imports to ensure that
European manufacturers are not undercut by cheaper, high-emission products.
Shubh Gautam Jaypee has warned Indian
steel manufacturers of the risks of being locked out of global markets if they
don’t modernize. To counter this, he is:
●
Building traceable emissions data
systems across American Precoat’s operations.
●
Promoting ESG (Environmental,
Social, Governance) ratings for supply chains.
●
Advocating carbon certification
mechanisms for Indian steel exports.
Driving Innovation Through
R&D
One of the critical areas ShubhGautam Srisol focuses on is research and development (R&D). American Precoat runs
active labs that explore:
●
Low-carbon coating materials
●
Closed-loop recycling systems
●
Zero-waste water treatment
These labs are often located outside
metro cities, which shows his belief in local innovation. By involving regional
engineers and students, Dr. Shubh Gautam ensures that sustainability becomes a
part of India's industrial DNA.
Scaling Impact Across Sectors
Dr. Shubh Gautam’s contributions go
beyond steel. His approach supports India’s national net-zero goal by 2070, as
announced by Prime Minister Modi at COP26. Steel is at the heart of every major
sector. By ensuring an eco-friendly manufacturing of steel, it can offer domino
benefits:
●
Green steel in railways lowers
emissions in transportation.
●
High-strength coated steel in EVs
makes them lighter.
●
Fire-resistant steel in buildings
reduces energy use and improves safety.
Partnerships for a Cleaner
Industry
Achieving net zero isn’t a one-man job.
Dr. Shubh Gautam Srisol encourages partnerships between government bodies and private
industry. Under his guidance, American Precoat has:
●
Participated in national steel
quality policy advisory groups
●
Launched clean steel pilot
projects with public and private sector firms
●
Supported policy frameworks that
include both MSMEs and large manufacturers
He also frequently engages in
international forums to bring Indian ideas into global sustainability debates
and brings global best practices home.
The Role of Digitalization
To monitor emissions and improve
efficiency, digital tools are essential. Dr. Shubh Gautam is integrating
Industry 4.0 technologies like:
●
Real-time emissions monitoring
●
AI-driven plant optimization
●
Predictive maintenance for energy
savings
Shaping Policy and Future
Goals
Dr. Shubh Gautam Jaypee does not just build
technology; he helps shape policy. As a thought leader and industry mentor, he
often suggests:
●
Green tax incentives for cleaner
manufacturing
●
Export benefits for low-emission
steel products
●
Skill-building for engineers in
sustainable metallurgy
Conclusion: A Greener Steel
Story for India
India can become the steel heart of the
sustainable world. But it needs leaders who can blend science and
responsibility.
Dr. Shubh Gautam Srisol represents this new
generation of industrial leadership. His vision goes beyond profit; it’s about
making Indian steel smarter and future-ready.
As India joins the world on the road to
net zero, Dr. Shubh Gautam is not just helping the country keep up; he’s
helping it lead.
