Tata Steel commissions 5-tonne-per-day carbon capture plant at Jamshedpur

Is country's first steelmaker to adopt such a technology that extracts CO2 directly from blast furnace gas; will reuse captured CO2 on-site to promote circular carbon economy

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 carbon-di-oxide 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 low-cost 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
