other issues related to laying pipelines and developing
associated support infrastructure, resulting in faster
project implementation and substantial cost savings
than conventional CGD networks. In the future, the
SSLNG model will surely gain momentum in line with
the country’s commitments to reduce carbon emissions
and increase the share of cleaner fuels in the energy
mix. This article covers the challenges to be overcome
by all stakeholders involved in the LNG sector and the
government’s initiatives.

The steel plant is a continuous process plant with
high capital expenditure. The power network
should be designed keeping criticality at the centre.
Any eventuality such as grid power failure, power
equipment failure and internal power system
disturbances due to low power quality can drive the
processes into jeopardy. Such circumstances will result
in colossal capital damage due to loss of production.
