SMS group and Tata Steel sign MoU to decarbonize integrated steel plants
22
Tata Steel, one of the world’s leading steel producers, has signed a memorandum of understanding with SMS group to reduce carbon emissions at Tata’s integrated steel plants across India. SMS group will contribute its leading technological expertise in design- ing, supplying and commissioning plants with significantly lower CO2 emissions.
Burkhard Dahmen, CEO and Chairman of SMS group, said: “Our companies have a common goal to reduce carbon emis-
sions from iron and steel production, as the industry is not only key to economic prosperity, it is also one of the largest CO2 emitters. We are therefore very proud to team up with Tata Steel and are committed to supporting the company with its decar- bonization roadmap. This represents an important contribution in the fight against climate change and is beneficial for the Indian economy as a whole and especially for the communities located around the steel plants.”
