Tata Steel has commissioned a 5 tonnes per day carbon capture plant at its Jamshedpur Works, making it the country's first steel company to adopt such a carbon capture technology that extracts Carbon dioxide directly from the Blast Furnace gas. Tata Steel will reuse the captured Carbon dioxide on site to promote the circular carbon economy.
This carbon capture and utilisation facility uses amine-based technology and makes the captured carbon available for onsite reuse. The depleted Carbon dioxide gas is sent back to the gas network with increased calorific value. This project has been executed with technological support from Carbon Clean, a global leader in low-cost CO2 capture technology.
Commenting on the development, T V. Narendran, CEO and MD, Tata Steel, said: "In alignment with the Tata group's pioneering values, we have taken this strategic footsteps in our journey towards decarbonization. We will carry on our quest to remain an industry leader in sustainability by setting new benchmarks for a better tomorrow. For the sustainability of the steel industry internationally and particularly in a growing country like India, it is crucial that we find economical solutions for capturing and use of CO2 at scale. Leadership in mitigating emissions, accessing low-cost clean energy, and providing circular economy solutions will define our sector's journey going forward."
