Transition to Low-Emission Steelmaking

Tata Steel has signed an agreement with Tata Power to source 379 MW of captive renewable power, which will save 50 million tons of carbon emissions over the 25-year contract period.

Tata Steel UK has shut down its blast furnace operations in Port Talbot as part of the plan to transition to EAF-based steelmaking. In September 2023, the Company reached an agreement with the UK government to invest in the low-emission steelmaking facility with an investment of £1.25 billion, which includes a £500 million grant from the UK government.

Tata Steel Nederland has submitted its Green Steel Plan to the Dutch government, proposing to replace one of the blast furnaces in IJmuiden with a DRI (Direct Reduced Iron)-EAF facility.

In IJmuiden (the Netherlands), Tata Steel plans to replace one of the blast furnaces with hydrogen-ready Direct Reduced Iron (DRI) and Electric Arc Furnaces (EAF).

Tata Steel has been operating its pilot plant on HIsarna- a low carbon technology for a decade in its IJmuiden plant. We now plan to set up a 1 MTPA demo plant in Jamshedpur.

Tata Steel partners SMS Group to deploy world-first EASyMelt decarbonisation technology in Jamshedpur. The project aims to cut CO₂ emissions by more than 50 percent compared to the
blast furnace’s baseline operation.

In March 2026, Tata Steel inaugurated its first, state-of-the-art scrap-based Electric Arc Furnace (EAF) plant in India in Ludhiana, Punjab, representing a ₹3,200 crore investment. The plant has a 0.75 million tonnes per annum capacity and is designed to achieve CO₂ emissions less than 0.3 tonnes per tonne of steel.​

In the UK, Tata Steel is investing £1.25 billion, supported by £500 million UK government grant, to transition to Electric Arc Furnace (EAF)-based steelmaking in Port Talbot, aimed at cutting emissions by up to 50 million tonnes over the next decade.
