May be the answer is

..........

To protect a steel industrial chimney against lightning, do we need to install a lightning rod at the top of chimney and use a down conductor and ground it or is it sufficient to connect the grounded earth electrodes to the chimney from the bottom i.e. let the steel chimney act as the conductor?

Explanation:

A steel chimney is conductive and likely tied to ground in the building foundation, though it is standard practice to bond all metallic components on a roof to a common loop conductor that is grounded in any lightning protection system. ... This causes a potential electrical hazard during a lightning storm.
