SUMMARY:Clean, green and circular at Tata Steel Ijmuiden
DESCRIPTION:Tata will transform its steelmaking facilities in IJmuiden, the Netherlands, to produce hydrogen-based green steel. To facilitate this multi-phased transformation, a Clean, Green & Circular strategy is being deployed, aiming at substantial improvements on these key themes.

Clean: A significant decrease of environmental emissions (NOx, SO2, PM10, PAH, heavy metals) will result from the Roadmap+ programme and closure of existing assets in the new configuration. Reduction of emissions and nuisance in the nearby townships is targeted, for example, by dedusting and deNOxing the pellet plant, and by limiting emissions at the coke plants. Implementation timeline of these projects is 2019-2025 and investigations to further reduce emissions is ongoing.

Green: Transition to green hydrogen-based steel making by replacing current blast furnace-technology with DRI-plants fed with blast furnace-grade pellets and using electric furnaces to produce hot metal. The target is to reduce CO2 emissions with 35-40% by 2030 (first blast furnace out of operation), 68-75% after 2035 (second blast furnace out of operation), to ‘zero’ in 2045. Zeremis Carbon Lite is the brand under which today low-CO2 mass-balanced green steel is supplied to customers. This product bridges the time gap to fully embodied decarbonised steel.

Circular:  An increased share of recycled steel is possible up to 30% by 2030 by increasing scrap input in the blast furnaces, converters and electric furnaces. This also includes an ambition for nearly 100% re-use of reverts on-site, for example by using Hisarna technology.

The steel works in IJmuiden are well positioned for the green transformation, given that many success factors are in place or being developed. These include the proximity to off-shore wind farms and connection to a national hydrogen backbone currently under development, the existing deep sea port and railway connections, and a deep pool of young talent in schools, universities and technical institutes.
