The Bhilai Steel Plant (BSP) and Chandrapur Ferro Alloy Plant (CFP) facilities of Indian state-run steelmaker Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) have launched a specially designed 'carbon dioxide dashboard' as a step towards decarbonization and sustainable production processes, a company statement said on Monday, August 24.
Developed in collaboration with Centra World, a consultant appointed by SAIL's Environment Management Division (EMD), the dashboard aims to enable real-time tracking and management of carbon emissions across the enterprise. It provides accurate tracking and analysis of daily CO₂ emissions at both the plant and individual shop levels. By identifying anomalies promptly, the system allows for quick corrective measures that enhance overall operational efficiency while driving down carbon emissions across production units, the statement said.
The digital platform assesses emissions in accordance with global standards, including the World Steel Association (WSA) methodology, the GHG Protocol, and the European Union's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM).
In the context of India's evolving carbon market, the dashboard will play a vital role in helping SAIL align with the Carbon Credit Trading Scheme (CCTS) by assisting units in monitoring emission-intensity targets and preparing for market mechanisms. Furthermore, shop-level and product-level monitoring will strengthen the global competitiveness of SAIL's steel products in international markets, the company said.
