Growing steel production is vital for India’s development goals. Avoiding carbon lock-in during this rapid expansion will require support from transition finance, concessional finance, and government initiatives. To access, Indian steel companies need credible transition plans.

“There simply isn’t enough land available for the level of afforestation needed to offset #FossilFuel-related #emissions” says Rich Collett-White at Carbon Tracker. “Pursuing anywhere near that level of afforestation risks increasing food prices" www.newscientist.com/article/2485...
Offsetting global fossil fuel stores by planting trees is impossible
Trees would have to be planted on a vast proportion of global land mass to offset the carbon dioxide emissions from burning the world’s fossil fuel reserves
