【SMM Steel】Tata Steel signed a final agreement with SMS group's Paul Wurth to introduce EASyMelt technology at its Jamshedpur plant. The project marks the first industrial-scale demonstration of the electrified smelting process at BF E. EASyMelt combines electricity with syngas, reducing coke reliance while allowing flexible fuel use (natural gas, hydrogen, ammonia). The technology offers a cost-effective decarbonization pathway by retrofitting existing assets, cutting CO₂ by >50%. The move supports Tata Steel's 2045 net-zero target.
