JSW Steel, Bharatia, and Carbon Iceland International have signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly explore a large-scale green methanol project in India.

The agreement was signed in Oslo, Norway, during the 3rd India–Nordic Summit.

Project To Focus on Industrial Decarbonisation

The proposed project aims to produce around 300 KTPA (kilo tonnes per annum) of green methanol, also known as eMethanol.

The project plans to use:

  • Carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions from JSW Steel’s plant in Raigad, Maharashtra
  • Green hydrogen produced using renewable energy 

The captured CO₂ and green hydrogen will be converted into low-carbon methanol fuel.

Aim Is to Build Sustainable Fuel Infrastructure

The partnership aims to support industrial decarbonisation and create cleaner fuel alternatives for hard-to-abate sectors.

The companies said the project could become a scalable model for:

  • Carbon capture and utilisation (CCU)
  • Green fuel production
  • Sustainable industrial infrastructure 

The initiative also aligns with India’s long-term energy transition and climate goals.

Leaders From India and Iceland Attend Signing

The MoU signing was witnessed by:

  • Kristrún Frostadóttir
  • Icelandic Ambassador to India Benedikt Höskuldsson 

Senior officials from all participating organisations were also present during the signing ceremony.

Roles Of The Partner Companies

Under the partnership:

  • JSW Steel will provide industrial infrastructure and operational support
  • Bharatia will help with project development, financing, policy support, and ecosystem integration
  • Carbon Iceland International will contribute expertise in carbon capture, e-fuels, and industrial decarbonisation technologies 

Project To Be Developed In Phases

The companies said the project will follow a phased development approach.

The initial stage will include:

  • Feasibility studies
  • Technical assessments
  • Evaluation of existing CO₂ streams at JSW Steel’s facilities 

Future phases may involve full-scale commercial implementation.
