Tata Steel commissions 5 TPD carbon capture plant

Tata Steel has 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 blast furnace gas, the company said on Tuesday.

Tata Steel will reuse the captured CO2 on site to promote the circular carbon economy. The project has been executed with technological support from Carbon Clean, a global leader in lowcost CO2 capture technology.

The carbon capture and utilisation (CCU) facility uses amine-based technology and makes the captured carbon available for onsite reuse. The depleted CO2 gas is sent back to the gas network with increased calorific value.
