Tata Steel on Tuesday commissioned a 5-tonne per day (TPD) carbon capture plant at its Jamshedpur Works, making it the country’s first steel company to adopt such a carbon capture technology that extracts CO2 directly from the blast furnace gas.
The Plant has the capability to capture 5 tonnes of CO2 per day (5-tonne per day (TPD)). The plant will play an important role in resuing the captured CO2 on-site to promote a circular carbon economy.
In the last year 2020, Tata Steel partnered with the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR) for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS). it also aims to build a strong ecosystem in the country for meeting the decarbonization commitments under the Paris Agreement.
