Climate change
In 2008, we announced our Tata Steel Group Vision to become the global steel benchmark for both value creation and corporate citizenship.
Among the specific goals we have set ourselves in pursuit of this vision is to reduce our carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions to less than 1.7 tonnes per tonne of liquid steel by 2012.
Our long-term climate change vision goes further, setting a target to reduce CO 2 emissions to less than 1.5 tonnes for every tonne of liquid steel produced by 2020.
We have set five strategic priorities to realise our challenging vision:
- To achieve emission reductions
- To invest in longer-term breakthrough technologies for producing low carbon steels
- To develop new products and services that generate lower CO 2 emissions through the life cycle
- To actively engage our entire workforce in this challenge, and
- To lead by example within the global steel industry.
Reducing emissions
Our integrated steelworks are already very efficient, with typical CO2 emissions from steelmaking now around 50% lower, per tonne of steel, than 40 years ago.
Regulatory framework
Along with the rest of the European steel industry, we are required to participate in the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS).
Breakthrough technologies
It is a scientific fact that the scope for achieving further significant reductions in CO2 emissions from the conventional iron and steelmaking process is very limited.
