India’s Tata Steel Limited has inked a pact with the Council of Scientific Industrial Research-National Institute for Interdisciplinary Science and Technology (CSIR-NIIST) for technical collaboration to reduce carbon emission from steelmaking, according to a Tata Steel Limited statement on Wednesday, October 9.
CSIR-NIIST is a laboratory under the Indian government’s Centre for Scientific Research (CSIR).
Under the memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed between Tata Steel Limited and CSIR-NIIST, technologies will be developed to reduce carbon emissions by either storing or reducing them, so that the captured carbon dioxide does not enter the atmosphere, the statement said.
