Tata Steel Nederland submits its EIA report
Jamshedpur: Tata Steel Nederland (TSN) has submitted its Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) to the province of North Holland. The report lays bare the environmental and health implications of the Steel Major's plans to overhaul its steel production at the Ijmuiden site.
"The new steel plant, which will operate using natural gas and green electricity instead of coal, is expected to slash CO₂ emissions by 5 million tonnes," the company said in a press release on Monday.
With future integration of hydrogen, bio-methane, and underground carbon storage, the reductions could go even further- making this the largest single-company CO₂ cut in the Netherlands. "Our Green Steel plan, developed in close collaboration with trade unions and fully backed by our parent company in India, represents an unprecedented shift. We are moving away from coal, and towards a cleaner, greener future,", Hans van den Berg, chief executive officer of TSN, said in a statement.
