The main causes for energy inefficiency and environmental pollution are increased plant capacity and introduction of new factories, outdated production technology in use, aged industrial infrastructures, lack of management skills and coal dominated energy structures. Therefore, there is a need for an integrated approach like Green Manufacturing technology towards energy and environment management of the industry so that better energy efficiency and environmental friendliness can be achieved. This research work provides information on control techniques and measures that are available and adopted by steel industries to moderate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, global warming, reduced CO2 emission, describes the process technology in use, energy saving opportunities, Environmental benefits of recycling & Sustainable development related to the iron and steel manufacturing sector through green manufacturing technology. We introduce the Indian iron and steel industry in more detail taking into account industry, production, technologies, energy consumption within processes, environmental impacts of steel recycling etc. KEYWORDS: Green Manufacturing, CO2 emission, Human Comfort, Environmental friendly. INTRODUCTION India continues to remain the 4th largest producer of crude steel in the world as against the 8th position in 2003 and is expected to become the 2nd largest producer of crude steel soon. (Crude steel production grew at 8% annually [Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR)] from 46.46 million tonnes in 2005-06 to 81.2 million tonnes in 2012-13) and it is the largest producer of direct reduced iron (DRI) or sponge iron in the world with the coal based route accounting for 76% of total sponge iron production in the country (20.37 mt in 2011-12; prov.) (http://steel.gov.in/overview). The production of steel accounts for approximately 5% of total CO2 emissions. It is the largest industrial emitter and a prime focus for governments. Steel industry is one of the biggest industries of resource consumption and pollution emission (Iron and Steel Industry in India, 2012). Relevant data show that, in iron industry, the total energy consumption amounts to 14.71%. In the past five years, the comprehensive energy consumption per ton of iron has reduced by179 kgce/t, but there is still a large gap to achieve the level in developed countries that is between 12% and15percent. Corporate social responsibility for Iron Industry should contain the duty for environmental protection, resources protection and rational utilization. As the basic industry of national economy, iron industry must bear both economic responsibility and social responsibility. Traditional manufacturing mode that practicing in iron industry of India is one important factor that caused above problems. Green manufacturing mode is developed in recent years. Some researches show that two advantages of practicing green manufacturing can be presented. On one hand, sustainable development strategy could be guaranteed. On the other hand, considerable economic benefits could be gained for enterprises. The cycle of “material—production—flotsam—material” can be constructed in industry enterprises with saving energy, reducing loss and reducing pollution). If green manufacturing can be put into practice successfully, the contradiction between environmental pollution and sustainable development will be effectively solved. So it is feasible and necessary for iron industry in India to adopt the green manufacturing mode[2].
