Tata Steel Receives Indo-Sweden Funding for Decarbonization Projects
Tata Steel has received funding for two projects to help reduce pollution in the steel and cement industries.
The first project, MiCOBlast, uses special technology to turn waste gases from steel-making into useful products.
The second project, Steel Slag Reborn, recovers valuable materials from steel waste and turns the rest into eco-friendly cement.
Tata Steel is working with universities and companies from India and Sweden to make these projects successful.
These efforts aim to make the steel and cement industries cleaner and more sustainable.
Tata Steel receives funding for two decarbonization projects under the Indo-Sweden Industry Transition Partnership.
MiCOBlast project focuses on converting blast furnace off-gases into value-added products using microwave plasma-assisted technology.
Steel Slag Reborn project aims to recover high-value metallics from steel slag and convert the remainder into sustainable cementitious material.
Collaborators include IIT Hyderabad, Green14, IIT ISM Dhanbad, JK Cement, and Cemvision.
Projects aim to significantly reduce emissions and improve resource efficiency in the steel and cement sectors.
