Tata Steel is working on a plan for transition to low carbon technologies for making steel in the U.K. and the Netherlands.
In October 2021, Tata Steel completed the process of separating Tata Steel UK and Tata Steel Netherlands as two independent companies from Tata Steel Europe.
Both, Tata Steel UK and Tata Steel Netherlands have been developing detailed plans for transition to low CO2 technologies in line with the company's goal to produce CO2-neutral steel by 2050 in Europe, company's CEO & MD T V Narendran and Executive Director & CFO Koushik Chatterjee said.
"In Tata Steel Netherlands, we plan to gradually phase out our blast furnaces and coal over the next 10 years by replacing them with a combination of Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) technology based on hydrogen, and electric furnaces," the executives said in the company's annual report for 2021-22.
In the Netherlands, the company has a capacity of 7 MTPA.
According to the company, Tata Steel UK also produces steel through blast furnaces and basic oxygen furnace routes, and has an annual capacity of five million tonne per annum (MTPA).
Speaking on the India operations, the company said, "Based on our assessment of the opportunities in the Indian market, we will calibrate our growth plans and timing for implementation. We are currently focussed on completing our expansion project in Kalinganagar to create a state-of-the-art 8 MTPA site."
